Trinity College’s Women’s Rowing Team, in the foreground here with the pink hats, just placed third in the nation! Way to go!

Warm Light Chapel
Golden summer light lands perfectly on Trinity’s chapel with the Hartford skyline in the distance.
Human Canyon, Human Bridge
Can you spot the bridge between these two buildings at 55 Elm in Hartford? I’m fascinated by the deep inter-build canyon and the engineering solution it necessitates. The topology of the site is fascinating.
2024 National Invitational Rowing Championship
As the semester finished, I traveled to support Trinity Rowing at the National Invitational Rowing Championship in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Unlike most other spectators, stationed down at the finish line, some coincidence and some bushwhacking led me to a position near the starting line. The benefit to this view was capturing the boats while they were still closely spaced, making for some really dramatic competitive compositions.
Looong Walk
Trinity College’s Long Walk lives up to its name.
Sun Behind the Chapel
Sunset light shining through the bells of Trinity College’s chapel is an entirely new sight for me.
Artificial Green
An aerial view of Coachella Valley reveals the artificial irrigation-induced greens amid the natural desert.
Towers in the Arboretum Campus
This central section of Trinity College’s campus was announced as a new addition to the National Register of Historic Places on the anniversary of the College’s founding 201 years ago.
Feeding the Giraffes
The looks of excitement and joy on the faces of visitors to the Living Desert as they feed lettuce to the giraffes is pretty infectious.
Desert Settlement at Sunset
Returning to this viewpoint year after year, I’ve watched as the small cluster of white buildings (trailers?) at the bottom of this canyon keeps growing. Worksite? Settlement? Cult? Who knows, but I feel like there’s a good noir mystery to be written from this starting point.
Zoo Nap
You and me both, buddy.
Sun Peaks Around the Mountain
Though I missed it when I originally processed them, I was entertained to look back at this pair of shots from early spring in Salisbury, Connecticut—one pointing northeast and the other pointing southeast. The light of the rising sun is visible in the distance in both directions where the shadow of the mountain over town is absent.
Spring Light Lasts Longest (on the Field)
Delicate, not-fully-chlorophyll’ed spring foliage may be bright on its own, but being the only objects still tall enough to catch the sunlight once Trinity’s Long Walk gets in the way really makes the campus’s trees stand out all the more.
The Custom House at Blue Hour
This image of Dublin’s Custom House presents some delightful contrasts—not only between the House itself and its more modern neighboring structures, but also between the silhouetted lamp whose bulb was conveniently out and its nearby glowing peers.
Arboretum Campus
An aerial view makes it even less surprising that Trinity College was recently classified as an arboretum. The warm spring evening air between their branches makes for perfect sensory inputs.
