Two Thousand and Fifteen started out like most any other year for me – a busy schedule for the family/kids, a chock-full year at work, and lots of stuff in the ‘photo idea’ bin, coupled with some time to possibly take care of at least a few of those goals. Then […]
Let’s jump into the (not-so) wayback machine for a moment today, and go back exactly nine years ago – to December 4, 2006 (and about the same time as I’m posting this), where I had a pretty unique photographic opportunity. Something unusual happened on the New England Central Railroad in […]
As artists, we undeniably use other people’s work to stoke the creative fires inside our own imaginations. Whether it’s re-making a photo that has been done before, taking pieces from multiple works and mashing them together into something of your own or just using it as motivation to move in […]
Let’s go down a different path for a moment. Sure, my main focus, pardon the pun, is railroad photography. But I do enjoy expanding my horizons – and this past weekend an event that I attended with my wife and daughters gave me that opportunity to do something different. Photograph […]
Imagine getting some great news that you’d love to share with everyone you know (and even more), but you can’t for a couple of months. Well, that happened to me recently – and I’ll tell you, it’s been pretty hard keeping my yap shut. A couple of months ago, I […]

Between 2006 and 2008, I embarked on a project that long-time readers of the blog probably noticed. Among what I was regularly photographing through the year, I also made it a point to shoot the ongoing progress of Amtrak’s Thames River draw moveable span replacement project. An effort by the […]
With the start of 2015, I decided it was time to redo the store site – photos.nanosphoto.com – giving it a little more modern look and feel. I’ve also done some organization, along with adding a section for my hometown, Lebanon, Connecticut. With all of that happening, I also figured […]
New Year’s Eve 2014 – a time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments – of course, in the context of the good old blog here, that would be looking at things photographically speaking. Well, 2014 was a light year for me in the photographic realm – only getting out […]
