Another beautiful barn in Roxbury CT
Another barn on our “to do” list of barns in gorgeous Roxbury CT for Cheryl and I. As you can see it’s a beautiful, tranquil setting that was most likely a bustling cow farm back in the day. The property owner came over to us and was very cordial welcoming us to photograph the barn as we liked. We shared our website address and hope he stops by to see the finished results. If you do please tell us what you think! The entire shot is “as is” however the stone wall was modified in photoshop for artistic reasons. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP full frame, mirrorless camera…

Beautiful Roxbury CT!
Located in eastern CT about a 20-25 minute ride east of Waterbury CT sits the lovely town of Roxbury CT. Settled in 1796 with a current population of around 2200 people you feel like you’ve gone back in time. It was so nice to see such an expansive area that had not been disturbed by the modern trend of “farmland to residential/commercial use”. Cheryl and I didn’t have time to drive through the entire town but all the area’s we were in seemed like original undisturbed farmland many of which had barns still standing. Some of which were working farms today. This particular barn was the gem of the day…

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…

Technology comes to an old barn
Cheryl and I were barn chasing in East Hampton CT and photographed this barn which was topped with a solar panel on Hurd Park Rd. I’ve photographed a lot of barns and this is the first one I’ve seen with a solar panel. I like the old tractor they had situated on the property. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24 MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 @ 100 mm. 1/250th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture priority

Fish Family Farm, Bolton CT
Fish Family Farm Creamery 20 Dimock Ln Bolton, Connecticut From what I read on their facebook page this farm is a favorite of the locals. They sell their own milk and ice cream right on the premises in their farm store. The milk truck reminded me of my youth where it was common place to see milk delivery in glass bottles. My Great Grandmother still got milk delivered right up until around 1975 when they stopped delivering. There would always be a layer of cream that rose to the top which she’d skim off and save for her coffee. They’d leave the milk inside the milk box which normally was…

Old farm & barn, Durham CT
An old tractor sits quietly in a farm on the Chamberlain Highway in Berlin CT. The barn in the back ground has been unoccupied for years and years. I had always thought, by virtue of the construction, that this barn once occupied chicken coups. If any of you have any history on this barn please write in. Photographed with A Nikon D7100, 24MP camera and an 18-55 lens at 55 mm (35 mm = 82 mm). 1/160th, f11, ISO 1000
