From time to time I’ll get people asking me why I shoot what they consider to be mundane photos. By mundane, I mean trains that have run on the same schedule forever, or even pieces of railroad equipment that have been static for literally decades. Well, in most cases, especially […]

Today we were graced with something we haven’t seen in quite a while – blue skies and sunshine! So I had to take advantage of the great weather and get out. Of course, things didn’t exactly go as planned – but like always, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just […]
Gloomy, gloomy skies. Seems like that past few weeks have seen nothing but clouds, rain & storms. Well, this morning was no different – overcast, but no rain. But with a small hole in my schedule I decided to head out to see what I could see on a walk. […]
Tonight we had to go out to a graduation party in Glastonbury, and drove through that nasty thunderstorm (the one that spawned the tornado warning for the Willimantic area). We must have gone through close to the middle of it – wind, lightning, torrential rain and near golf ball sized […]

Yesterday we had a very nice morning – blue skies with a few whispy clouds as a precursor to the overcast we have today. I was able to get out for my walk and take advantage of the nice weather, and I caught a couple trains to boot.
On Memorial Day proper we went to the Manchester, CT parade, and like usual, I wandered around as the parade progressed up Main Street. As the parade moved along, the weather got nicer, and I took quite a few pictures. Nationwide Security Services people were great. The only disappointing part […]
