Straight-piped V8 Corvette race cars are truly loud vehicles, and the bokeh’ed child putting his hands over his ears in the background is strong testament.
Loud Corvette
Smooth Water (Finally)
I’ll spoil the double meaning of this title: On the one hand, very literally the waterfall in Stone Valley is ending on the left side of the image and smoother water is in the river’s future. But in a photographic sense, this is an image that I couldn’t previously share because the mist from the waterfalls spotted the lens so badly that the image was hidden behind a layer of dark spots. The improved spot removal tools in present-day Adobe Camera Raw have finally allowed me to effectively get rid of those spots (and I’ve learned some other photographic tricks in the meantime), so this image is ready to face the light of day.
Red Racer
What else can I say? “The red ones goes faster.”
Curious Steam Infrastructure Pit
Construction around Trinity’s campus has produced this deep concrete pit filled with complicated steam pipe controls. A view from above reveals a Factorio-esque connection within.
Drifting at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends 2026
This post “does what it says on the tin,” as they say.
Let’s start with a pair of Mustangs from very different eras:
Followed by another drift car from Nappy Boy Automotive:
And finishing with a Nissan Silvia.
Chillin’ on the Quad
So long as the weather lasts, we’ll be out on the quads, lounging in Adirondack chairs.
Remembering 9/11, 25 Years Later
Three 3ers
A drift train of BMW 3ers (a.k.a. E36 3-series) at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends shows how differently similar starting points can evolve into wild performance vehicles.
Daycare on the Quad
The Trinity Fall 2026 semester officially begins tomorrow, but a few quiet moments remain on campus before the rush begins.
Golden Dome in Summer
The deep green leaves of late summer makes a perfect match to the bright golden dome of the Connecticut State Capitol.
Porsche in the Shadows
Earlier sunsets mean dramatic shadows on the way home from work.
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.
