Had to run out and do a couple errands in Willimantic tonight, so I threw the camera bag and Lumedyne bag in the car on the way out of the house. You never know what you’ll run into in Willimantic.

OK, going back to the start of the week – before we had to bring my daughter to the hospital. I was able to get out and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 after the previous weekend’s snowfall. It sure was a cold morning, and I really didn’t look forward […]
This morning was another late start for me. Not only did I get up a touch late, but also the roads were covered with black ice, and some of them were closed. So I had to take a really scenic route into work this morning. And as I usually do, […]
This past Saturday (12/13/08) Nick Palazini and I headed out for an evening of shooting under the stars with the Lumedyne. On the slate was hitting both Central New England Railroad branches, and if we had time, taking a swing by East Hartford to shoot the Connecticut Southern power by […]
With the new job, my time has been much more limited than it has been in the past, so I don’t get out to shoot as much. But that also has a benefit – when I get behind in my postings, I don’t have that big of a backlog! Here’s […]

I was able to get out for a bit this first day of December, and things fell into place on the timing of things. Not only was I able to catch NR-2, but also the skies cleared up, bathing the train in some pretty nice morning sunshine.
Well, now that I rebuilt my Lumedyne battery (not only rebuilt it, but also increased its capacity by 50% over the factory rating), I figured a full-scale test would be in order. So I decided to head down to Essex, CT and shoot the Valley Railroad’s equipment after dark. I […]
While waiting at Erickson Park for Providence & Worcester train NR-2 to come onto the scene, the weather went from some gorgeous morning light, to a pretty thick overcast. As I sat there debating whether or not to head back to the office and forgo shooting NR-2 on this now […]
Monday I was able to head out and take advantage of some nice morning sunshine. Not only was I able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2, but I also photographed one of the newest US Navy Virginia class fast attack submarines – the USS North Carolina heading back to […]
