Yesterday morning on my way into work, while crossing the Thames River, I noticed something odd to the south. No, not the usual submarine or cargo vessel, but rather a tug spraying water into the air – like a nautical welcome. Running alongside of the tug was a rather large […]
Had to go on another trip to New Jersey last week for work, so of course the camera came along. But I was feeling a bit lazy, and I didn’t do my usual shooting from the platforms while waiting for my train. Instead I got a couple shots on the […]
Well, I got lucky last week. I decided to poke around eBay for some photo gear I’ve been looking for, and came across one auction that was pretty much everything I needed. When all was said and done, I ended up winning the auction. And today FedEx delivered the box […]
Well, the week is on the calendar. I’ve only got 3 times I went out shooting in that timeframe – September 11th, 16th and 19th. Anyways, two are of Providence & Worcester train NR-2, and the third was of a couple cars in Willimantic.
