Yep, it’s been a while since the last post. Busy time of year, between work and family, and Christmas and New Years it’s just been constant running around. But I did manage to kick off the New Year, photographically speaking, early this morning down by the Lebanon Green in frigid […]
Over the past seven years, the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic has hosted a number of photographers from around the northeastern region for a night shoot. This year was no different – both in the fact that the night shoot happened, but also that the event was very well […]
