Sun and optimism on deck for the departure of the Wind Star.
Deck at Departure – Sun
Arrayed Before Northam
A mixture of wide-angle lens distortion and “impossible” aerial drone viewpoint make for brain-twisting images of already strange and transient phenomena, like the chairs and stage of Trinity College’s Commencement Ceremony arrayed on the quad.
El Far Verd with Afternoon Traffic
The Green Lighthouse is “El Far Verd” in Spanish—”It does what it says on the tin.” Speaking of “tin,” the general aesthetic of the lighthouse really shouts for a certain twentieth-century adventure from the likes of Tintin.
Graduating ‘Neath the Elms
Trinity sings of being “‘Neath the Elms” for our alma mater, but I haven’t been able to capture that experience at Commencement quite so literally prior to now.
Port Vell Aerial Tramway
Not long after sunrise, the Port Vell Aerial Tramway in Barcelona’s harbor is already gliding passengers across expanses of water and stands of palm trees.
Clement with Flowering Trees
From every angle, Trinity College’s Clement Chemistry Building has been surrounded by flowering trees. Great for photography… But not so much for people with a pollen allergy.
Long Walk Walking
A springtime stroll along Trinity’s Long Walk has more leaf-generated shade every day.
Montjuïc Cemetery in Dawn Light
Our Mediterranean journey began, fittingly, with an arrival at dawn and a trip to the ship terminal past a reminder of our own mortality.
Bright Trees and Long Walk Stones
Final exam week is winding down, which means we can finally emerge from our Neo-Gothic cocoons and enjoy Trinity’s perfect spring campus.
Hartford Skyline in Spring
After a 2025 spent with construction fencing and destroyed surfaces, Bushnell Park in downtown Hartford is back and better than ever.
Weird Trinity Trees
Trinity is technically an arboretum and spring brings out the photosynthesis in some of my favorite trees—with, of course, some great chairs in which to sit and enjoy them.
Pink Sky at Bushnell Tower
A huge facade of reflective glass is just the thing to amplify the pink clouds of a perfect evening in Hartford, Connecticut.
Towers’ Spring Reflections
Bushnell Park in Hartford plays host to spectacular spring sights that juxtapose nature and life with the stark linear forms of skyline towers. I love the effect—but then, cities are my favorite places.
Spring Near Downtown
We returned to Connecticut just in time for a display of peak Southern-New-England springtime perfection; though the photographs from our trip through the Mediterranean will return soon, I couldn’t help but share our charming local neighborhood.
At Anchor Near Calvi
The Wind Star, eponymous ship of the cruise line, sits at anchor off the coast of Calvi, Corsica, looking like a relic of a different century—in contrast to the engineering choices inside her hull.
