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 […]

Last night I did a slideshow for the Northeast Prototype Modelers Meet out in Collinsville, CT. The show was on railroads at night, and went over rather well. Since I was out and about anyways, I decided to meet up with fellow photographers Nick Palazini and Dave Jodoin somewhere up […]
As some of you may know, a trio of New York, Susquehanna and Western SD70Ms that are being leased by RailAmerica were sent from the Florida East Coast Railway to the New England Central for some repairs. Well, as luck had it, CSX spotted the three on the east end […]
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 […]

On Saturday I got an email from Nick Palazini informing me that the power from a Providence & Worcester ethanol extra was outlawed in Valley Falls, RI, and sitting on the Blackstone River bridge. Along with that information came an invite for me and my Lumedyne to come out and […]
More catching up. Back on March 1st, we had a nice little snowstorm that dumped about 10″ of the white stuff on us. As it was kicking off on Sunday night, I headed out to see how shooting in the snow with the Lumedyne would work out. My target was […]
