Rain, mist & fog. Not the best atmosphere for photography, well, unless you want the photos to have atmosphere. So I decided to head out despite the light drizzle falling amongst the low hanging clouds. My aim was Mill Cove in Ledyard to hopefully catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 […]

To all you Canadian readers out there – happy Boxing Day! Unfortunately, its not a holiday here in the States, so I had to drag my ass into work this morning. Oh, well – with most folks taking the rest of the week off, work would be light, and I’d […]
Yeah, the year isn’t officially over yet, but I figured I should do this now…here’s my favorite images from 2007. They may not be the best, but they’re some of my favorites I’ve committed to film or CMOS over the past year. They’re roughly in chronological order from the beginning […]
This past Saturday morning (12/22/07), an extra was called by the Providence & Worcester from Plainfield to Willimantic, CT with some interchange traffic for the New England Central. So I headed up to Plainfield in the pre-dawn hours to meet up with friend and fellow photographer Bob LaMay for a […]
Well, Friday I looked at the weather – cloudy but cold. OK, that would work. So I took a half vacation day from work and headed to Essex, CT. The Valley Railroad (aka Essex Steam Train) was running a pair of Santa Specials for the kids. They get to ride […]

I submitted a print of the Plainfield, CT Providence & Worcester diamond (see below) into one of the NECCC (New England Camera Club Council) interclub print competitions. It ended up getting a 2nd place ribbon! Also, […]
I did manage to get out this morning for a bit to hopefully catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south along the Thames River in Ledyard or Groton. I managed to get out at my usual time, hoping that NR-2 would be back to their “old” schedule. So I […]
Kind of a cloudy day today, but I wanted to see if Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was still on an earlier than normal schedule. So I headed out at the normal time and started rolling north. That question about the schedule kept rolling through my mind as I listened […]
Well, a morning meeting of mine was postponed, so it allowed me to get out for a quick run north. With the recent changes to operations in the area – the P&W/NECR interchange was moved from New London to Willimantic – NR-2s times have been in a state of flux. […]
