Busy week last week, and a busy weekend too, so I didn’t get a chance to post the stuff I shot last Friday (July 18th). Short story was this – I was able to head out for a bit last Friday and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 doing something […]
I had to head to New Jersey for the day for work on Tuesday the 15th, and since my employer canceled the air shuttle between Groton and Morristown, NJ, I figured the Acela was my best bet for travel. A bit shorter than driving down there, and a bunch easier […]
