Old Barn, Todd St., Hamden CT
Nice looking old barn on Todd St., in Hamden CT. What makes this one unique is the addition of a chimney. They must have been venting stove pipe into it. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.2 MB, full frame mirrorless camera and a Sony FE 24-105 lens @ 51 mm. 1/200th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

Quintessential New England
I was doing my usual thing looking for old barns in the northeast country side of Connecticut when I saw this house situated on a main road. It was Early October and the leaves were just starting to turn. The style of the house, the flag on the front, the hand crafted stone wall, it all said New England to me. Quintessential New England! I can smell the apple pies baking in the kitchen. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 @ 55mm (in 35mm-82). 1/200th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority.

Cow Barn, Coventry CT
Cheryl and I were barn hunting in Coventry CT and added this to our already nice collection of Coventry barns from a previous trip. It appeared to me that this cow barn was still in use. Could possibly use a little paint but, all in all, was holding up fairly well. I was happy to see “Old Glory” proudly flying near the front entrance. Photographed with: Nikon D7100, NIkon 18-55 @ 22mm (35mm equiv.=33mm) 1/250th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

Hidden behind the fall foliage a beauty still stands…….
Another gorgeous barn quietly hidden beyond the fall foliage of New England on Burnt Hill Rd. in Hebron CT. This barn actually sits behind a farm house (to the left out of view). However, it was completely blocked by the yard and trees. I was forced to drive down the street a bit and shoot accross a swampy wetlands area with a long lens to reach it. The long lens compresses the image and gives the appearance that it is closer to the road than it actually is Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 F4.5-6.3 OSS lens at 109mm (in 35mm = 163).…

If money’s not an option then build this monster barn.
What a monster of a barn on Ramstein Rd. in the Bakersville section of New Hartford CT. Judging from it’s design and pristine appearance I would think it’s fairly new construction. Although I typically photography “old” barns how could I resist this massive beauty? Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 F4.5-6.3 OSS lens at 55 (in 35mm = 82). 1/1000th, f8, ISO 400, Aperture Priority.

Still standing strong in retirement……..
This barn may have been put out to pasture years ago but it is still holding its own as foliage tries to overtake it on every side. I think it’s a gem of a barn and I hope it stands for many years to come representing all the hard work of the farmers who passed through it’s doors. It can be seen at the corner of South Rd. and Sabolick Rd., in the countryside of New Hartford CT. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210, 4.5-6.3 OSS at 55mm (in 35mm=82). 1/200th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

The Bomba Bros. Farm, Seymour CT (a must read!)
The Bomba Bros. Farm 79 Great Hill Rd, Seymour, CT 06483 This article will take you on a short snippet of a family’s century long journey. What you will read encapsulates why I’ve spent years traveling around Southern CT photographing barns and farms. To me it represents a simpler time, a less cluttered time. A time when the work at hand was tackled by strong, disciplined families, with a work ethic that can only be emulated. A time when days were long, smiles were heartfelt and a someones “word” was their bond. There is a lot to learn and respect about this culture of American farmers. I will continue to…
