Wednesday was a day of showers and heavy overcast. So instead of shooting in daylight – and with the continuing trackwork on the Lehigh Line, there was the potential of no trains – I decided to take it easy, and have a leisurely dinner before heading out to shoot. My […]
Lumedyne
I had to head up to the Hellenic Study Center at UConn in Storrs tonight to check out their computers for the Conficker worm before the trigger date tomorrow. While I was up there, I figured I’d do a little night photography around the grounds, including the chapel and new […]
Saturday night I was asked if my Lumedyne and I could join a couple other photographers up in Grafton, MA to shoot the Grafton & Upton power. With nothing on the schedule, I accepted their offer.
I had been trying to get out the past few nights to head out to Plainville, CT and shoot one of the PanAm painted GP40s that works down this way. Well, finally things came together, and I headed out last night with Bob LaMay and Nick Palazini for the evening. […]
Yep, more night stuff, and like Saturday night, it was a last-minute decision to do. At the CERM meeting on Sunday night, one of the members mentioned that there was an NECR train tied down in the Willimantic yard. Well, I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera & […]

No, I’m not talking about Nickelodeon’s nighttime show lineup, but rather out shooting with fellow rail photographer Nick Palazini. Nick & I are working on a joint project for a magazine, and needed to go over some images on Sunday night. So after we were done, we figured we’d brave […]
I’m down in New Jersey again for a couple days with work. And as I have done before, the camera bag came along for the ride. But this time, the Lumedyne setup made its way into the bag. After I checked into the hotel, and got dinner, I went out […]
After the first night of the Amherst Railway Society’s annual Train Show at the Big E in West Springfield, MA, I attended a gathering of friends and fellow rail photographers where we share some of our work over beers & pizza. After that was done, and it was time to […]
