If I’m ever feeling too warm, I look back to Belgians bicycling in the rainy winter and feel the chill set in immediately.

A Porsche at the Long Walk
Quiet summer evenings along Trinity College’s Long Walk, so calm and dignified and neogothic, are best complemented by the shiny silver paint of a vintage Porsche 911.
Trinity College Skyline
“Skyline” might be applied more frequently to grand cityscapes, but the sight of Northam Hall and the Chapel standing out amount the Connecticut hillsides is as nostalgic a view as Manhattan to me.
Race-Prepped Porsche
The little details—the hood latches, the roll cage, the vents through the plexi windows—are what made this particular vehicle stand out in the paddock. The red paint doesn’t hurt, either.
Vertical Mechelen
Mechelen, Belgium welcomed the New Year with rain and fog and the strange combination of ancient and modern architecture that characterizes so much of Belgium.
And also a forest of scary trees.
Sunset Light on Bushnell Tower
A great sunset over Bushnell Park is well-matched by reflections from the windows of Bushnell Tower.
Miata Parade
NA Miatas returning to the paddock after lapping Lime Rock Park make for quite a 1990s throwback parade.
Raether Library
Renovations in the early 2000s greatly enlarged (and renamed) Trinity College’s library; this monolithic-yet-warm form feels welcoming amidst the Hartford landscape.
Big Man, Small Miata
This large man faces the large challenge of fitting a small Miata into a small trailer and extricating himself when the task is done. I do not envy him.
The Comparison Test Cover Shot
When my mom, brother, and I assembled our sports cars for a track day at Lime Rock Park, I knew it was a rare opportunity to create an array of vehicles like those that graced the covers of Car and Driver or Popular Mechanics when a major comparison test was the focus of the issue.
Miata Return Afternoon
This kind of image—period vehicles, strange race-prepped Miatas, everyday clothing, a pleasing landscape setting—is the sort that I anticipate I’ll be most interested to return to in 50 years. Capturing the experience of the end of the day at MiataCon crisply, telling the most about the space and the moment.
Vineyard Haven Thanksgiving Panorama
Heading back to the mainland after a Thanksgiving on Martha’s Vineyard, I captured this panorama from the upper deck of the Steamship Authority ferry. The width of our decaseconds homepage doesn’t do it justice; I recommend clicking through and zooming in to see all of the details on Flickr.
Miata Cornering
When a whole image is motion blue but a single happy Miata face, I think the sensation of speed is being pretty well-captured.
Long Streaks of Atomic Transition Photons on the Fourth
Happy Fourth of July!
Miatas with Big Wings
MiataCon brought an array of modified-beyond-recognition Miatas to Lime Rock Park—with many of them sporting monster wings.
The 10-year-old in me has to admit that they look neat.
Of course, their goals vis-à-vis downforce weren’t always accomplished. (Believe it or not, the blue Miata managed to avoid colliding with the McDonald’s-colored Miata.)
