    Macro Close Up of Potatoe Masher

    March 9, 2023 / No Comments

    Here’s an example of how you can create art with an everyday kitchen tool. This image began with a potatoe masher as you can see in one of the images. I backlit the object with a blue light, side lit one side with another blue light and the other side with a red light. I then came in tight on…

    Nice maintained old barn in Watertown, CT

    March 5, 2023 / No Comments

    Cheryl and I were combing Watertown looking for old barns. The town didn’t seem to have many. This barn is the nicest one we could find and it has been kept up over the years very nicely. It sits on a stone foundation which is the only hint of its age but the remainder is pristine. These folks obviously have…

    Reflections of MacKenzie Reseroir, Wallingford CT

    March 4, 2023 / No Comments

    On our way back from photographing a barn on the East side of Wallingford Cheryl wanted to stop and photograph some ducks flying around MacKenzie Reservoir. While I was waiting for her I looked for a shot. This is what I came up with. What appealed to me about this image was the absolute symmetry this cluster of tree’s presented.…

    Cooke Farm, Muddy Roots Farm, Wallingford CT

    March 4, 2023 / No Comments

A farm that has been in Wallingford, at this location since the 1700’s and passed down from generation to generation. It’s situated on Northford Rd in East Wallingford not far from the Northford…

    One of Northfords best barns

    March 4, 2023 / No Comments

    We had gotten a light snow fall and wanted to head over to this beautiful barn in Northford CT not far from the Wallingford line. We were hoping for more snowfall than we got but it was nice to photograph this beautiful scene anyways. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GM II lens…

    Sunset at Osborndale State Park, Derby CT

    February 23, 2023 / No Comments

    Cheryl and I had never been to Osborndale State Park in Derby before so we decided to give it a go. It was a cold winters day and very few people were there. We parked in the designated parking area and it was a one minute walk to the pond. We were hoping to see ducks and geese but nothing.…
