Earlier sunsets mean dramatic shadows on the way home from work.
Porsche in the Shadows
Wall of Windows
Summer may officially run from solstice to equinox, but I think we’re all in agreement that summer practically runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day in the United States. June, July, and August are the summer months.
I found nightfall had occurred while I was still at dinner with friends last night and I knew the truth that the End of Summer is here. For this professor, that means back to school. Time to finish that syllabus, I guess.
Brothers Watching the Game
A classic American moment: two brothers watching a baseball game together. (In this case, the Hartford Yard Goats.)
#GRIDLIFE Corvette
Corvettes were unsurprisingly in abundance at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends, but the particular livery of this GT car combined perfectly with motion blurs.
Family Driftmobile
Last weekend brought #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends to Lime Rock Park and I went full photographer, including a new circularly polarized filter that reveals new details, like the driver and passenger inside this drifting Volvo wagon.
Deep Excavation ‘Neath the Chemistry Building
Steam pipe repairs and upgrades outside Trinity College’s Clement Chemistry Building have introduced a dramatic, Star-Wars-worthy pit outside the building that suggests a far more interesting adventure than the realities of winter heating.
Diamond Barn
A Kentucky Horse Park barn forms a fortuitous angle with the rolling hills for a surreal diamond pattern.
Maó by Night
Docked boats, harborside establishments, and tall cliffs look like the ideal Mediterranean setting for a cartoon bear’s (or perhaps pig’s, but we know that’s the Adriatic) fictional home base.
Dawn Greets Out Arrival to Maó
On the deck of the Wind Star, the arrival of dawn matched our arrival into the deepwater harbor of Maó. The details on either shore (captured in this more-than-30,000-pixel-wide panorama) are well worth clicking through to the full-sized image.
Small (by the Standards of the Terminal)
Though the Wind Star felt like a plenty-large ship while we traveled aboard her, docking at typical cruise ship terminals (an entirely novel experience for me) demonstrated that she was far smaller than common cruise ships.
Three Views of Hartford III
On National Connecticut Day (apparently a Real Thing since 2017), I wanted to show these three views from around our state capital. They’re united by a strategy of processing the images darker in exposure than I might normally, producing deep, dark tones and highlights safe from being blown out.
Granddad’s Sheep Barn
One of my earliest memories is climbing the rope into the hayloft of my grandfather’s sheep barn. As his advancing age prevented him from making the journey out to the barn, it slowly fell into disrepair, but I’m glad I was able to take a final trip to capture what Granddad always referred to as “the homestead”.
Evening Lights in Bombay Beach
This little town on the shores of the Salton Sea is only a few blocks in each direction, a sort of echo of what might have been in a different ecological timeline. My favorite detail of the image, though, are the other lights away on the far shore of the Sea, just beneath the mountains, suggesting another world still out there.
Green Summer on the South Elkhorn Creek
Unlike past summers, when drought left central Kentucky crispy, a rainy summer produced lush foliage around the bridge over the South Elkhorn Creek.
Hints of Structure on the Shore
Narrow sticks emerge at regular intervals from the water, silhouetted in the reflected sunset, raising more questions than they can answer along the shoreline of the evaporating Salton Sea.
