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 […]

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 […]
Wednesday was a day of showers and heavy overcast. So instead of shooting in daylight – and with the continuing trackwork on the Lehigh Line, there was the potential of no trains – I decided to take it easy, and have a leisurely dinner before heading out to shoot. My […]
Last night I did a slideshow for the Northeast Prototype Modelers Meet out in Collinsville, CT. The show was on railroads at night, and went over rather well. Since I was out and about anyways, I decided to meet up with fellow photographers Nick Palazini and Dave Jodoin somewhere up […]
