Before the advent of drones with front-mounted cameras that can point up (without photographing the bottom of the drone body above them), I never thought of capturing a big dramatic sky so completely while flying.

Winter Arrives Early to Stowe, Vermont
We’ve been visiting Stowe, Vermont for a long time and I’ve even shown you this creek before, but today I bring you an entirely new and more wintery perspective, flying high over the snow-touched village.
Atlantic Track Corrosion
Atlantic weather ages every part of Martha’s Vineyard, but the combination of textures and colors of age (rusted iron, grayed cedar, turned leaves) really captures a broad spectrum of possibility. The somewhat “impossible” geometry of the image places them in juxtaposition.
Edgartown Fall Wedding Party
A walk on a crisp fall morning with a dramatic sky is just a little better when it’s also a wedding day.
Weird Fog
A fog of Macbeth/Shakespeare/Weird-Sisters-level strangeness descended on Hartford last night.
Nissan Cloud
A black Nissan raising a huge cloud of white tire dust is already 80% of the way to being in black and white, so I finished the job.
Bicycle Pause: Amsterdam
No idea how this standard Amsterdam bicycle came to rest in the middle of a canal bridge, but the combination of transportation modes speaks to the Dutch experience pretty effectively.
(Mostly) Nissan Drift Pack
A pack of Japanese sports cars going sideways in a haze of tire smoke should best be described as “driftacular”.
De L’Europe
Does anything say “international intrigue” like a fancy hotel in a European capital?
Exam Dawn
Waking pre-dawn to be sure an NSF Major Research Instrumentation grant and a Statistical Mechanics exam are both finished when they need to be turns out to have some upsides—namely, this gigantic panorama of an incredible Hartford dawn. (This one is definitely worth clicking through to Flickr and further clicking to zoom to 100% scale.)
Stinky But Beautiful
The bright yellow leaves of this female gingko tree almost make it worth the really shocking smell of butyric acid that issues from the decay of all of the fruit it drops.
Summit in the Fall
Incongruously warm summer afternoons are the stuff of college campus perfection, and Trinity College’s Summit dorms don’t let the day down.
Mist River Connecticut
Low clouds over the Connecticut River add extra autumn crisp to the day.
Empty Hartford Parking Lot
Spot the steeple of Trinity College’s chapel on the distant horizon.
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch
Something about the texture of autumn trees in a city park during the blue hour makes the perfect compliment for the rough-hewn stones of a big monument.
