Today was a bit different than usual – not only was it sunny and above freezing, but I had some visitors on my usual photography jaunt – a few folks from the Ocean State decided to shoot the Providence & Worcester along the Norwich Branch. They started the day in […]
Rain, mist & fog. Not the best atmosphere for photography, well, unless you want the photos to have atmosphere. So I decided to head out despite the light drizzle falling amongst the low hanging clouds. My aim was Mill Cove in Ledyard to hopefully catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 […]
To all you Canadian readers out there – happy Boxing Day! Unfortunately, its not a holiday here in the States, so I had to drag my ass into work this morning. Oh, well – with most folks taking the rest of the week off, work would be light, and I’d […]

Well, at the Windham Photography Club meeting last night, I got a little bonus. I submitted a print of the Plainfield, CT Providence & Worcester diamond (see below) into one of the NECCC (New England Camera Club Council) interclub print competitions. It ended up getting a 2nd place ribbon! Also, […]
