I had to run a couple errands tonight in Willimantic, so on my way home, I swung by the New England Central base of operations here in southeastern Connecticut – South Windham. Of course, while there, I took a few pictures of a NECR train waiting for a fresh crew […]

Was able to get a two-fer in on Friday – one under daylight, and one under cover of darkness. I caught Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in the morning, then later that night, I shot the Central New England Railroad’s equipment in Scantic, CT, of course with the help of […]
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.
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 […]

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 […]
