This past Saturday June 13th was the 6th Annual Night Photo Shoot at the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic. We had to top last year’s shoot, which included the use of the turntable in a number of shots. This year the volunteers came through again, and kicked things up […]

Just a quick note that I’m participating in the 2009 Windham Photo Club’s Gallery Exhibit, which is free and open to the public. I’ve got 10 photos hanging amongst about 200 from various club members. I’ll be sitting on Saturday July 11th from 12-2PM, but if you want to arrange […]
Last Friday I had taken the day off, and had to head down to the shoreline to take care of something in the morning. As things worked out I ran into Providence & Worcester train NR-2 on the way down, but somewhat unfortunatley, it was in the pouring rain. Well, […]
Yesterday was another less than stellar weather day. But like usual, that doesn’t stop me from going out to shoot when I can. After work I decided to head west to a new spot for me – Phillipsburg, NJ, which is home to the Phillipsburg Railroad Historians‘ museum near the […]
