While looking at things here on the website, I realized that it’s been 6 months to the day since my last blog post. My how time flies… Lots has been going on around here – from the usual things like family and work commitments, to the more unusual, most notably the passing […]

Busy times lately – both at work and at home. But I figured it was time for a quick blog post to stir things up a bit and let you all know where things are. First off, you’ll see my work – both photos and writing – in a couple […]
I didn’t get a chance to head out today – kinda swamped at work. So instead of not posting anything, I took a break from the Olympics and scanned a couple slides in. At least we’ll keep things somewhat fresh here…granted the pictures are at least 6 years old…
Been a bit busy lately – I did manage to get out on Monday morning for a bit and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2, but I haven’t gotten around to processing the images yet (pretty run-of-the-mill stuff, so nothing earth shattering). In the meantime, here’s a trio of slide […]
