As the rest of the state was getting their first snowfall of the season, down on the shore we got stuck with a mix of rain & sleet – well, honestly, it was mostly rain. One of the downfalls of being on the shoreline. But that didn’t keep me from […]

Quite a bit to pack into the small amount of time I was out & about this morning. I was able to catch a Los Angeles class fast attack sub, Providence & Worcester train NR-2, an easbound Amtrak Acela, and a helicopter taking off from New London. And I even […]
Yep, you read that right. Short version – in a span of about 20 minutes, and without moving my ass more than 15 feet, I was able to catch the freighter Persenk unloading copper plates at the State Pier in New London, a pair of small US Coast Guard cutters […]
Busy, busy, busy. That’s been the word lately. Didn’t get a chance to go out yesterday, nor this morning. But I did have to run down to Lowe’s to check out some roofing material (that I’ll probably purchase at the local lumberyard – O.L. Willards – because, quite simply, they’re […]

One series of shots got left by the wayside temporarily. Time to remedy that. Last month, 9/24/07 to be specific, I caught the ship Carolyn Chouest towing the Navy research submarine NR-1 out to sea on my way home from work. I finally got around to processing the images, and […]
Well, I got out late again this morning – but I figured it was worth a shot to see where I could pick up some action. As things unfolded, it turned out that a mile or so away was far enough to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2, Amtrak train […]
