Shadows still cover the neoclassical architecture of Hartford and the red Calder Stegosaurus hiding amongst it as the morning sun falls into the valley.
Sunrise on the Connecticut River

Fields Outside Lexington
A quick switch from farmland to city marks the strange bucolic character of Lexington, Kentucky.
A Snow Day at Trinity College IV–VI
Continuing where I left off, the end-of-semester highly distracting snowfall on Trinity College was a perfect temporary respite.
Ending the Season with the San Jacinto Mountains
Though the tiny lights of the Coachella Valley set the scale for the mighty size of the San Jacinto Mountains, even that range is dwarfed by the mighty scope and expanse of the sunset.
Pre-Sunrise Hartford
A nearly winter morning marks the end of the semester. Light reflecting from the Connecticut River adds some energy to a monochromatic world and I head to work to submit final grades.
A Snow Day at Trinity College I–III
Snow swept in over the weekend, accompanying the final exam preparations with a highly distracting winter aesthetic.
Bushnell Park Pond Freezing
The newly renovated pond in Bushnell Park had crisp, clear water this fall and I assumed that I’d lose sight of the rocks at the bottom from the build-up of fallen leaves. Instead, it turns out that a frozen surface was the bottom-obscuring victor.
Skating in the Park
Despite years of living across the street from this charming skating rink in Bushnell Park, I’ve somehow never managed to capture good images of the action before this year. With the light of the full moon in the background, Hartford residents queued up for a chance on the ice.
Seated Beneath Blossoms
Spring sunset colors match well with blossoms by Bushnell Parks’ pond.
A Spring Sunset Over the Connecticut State Capitol
There’s a benefit to taking way, way too long to process some of my raw images: I get to revisit great evenings (like this one from the spring) and warm myself as we near the darkness of the winter solstice.
Glowset
An excellent sunset, somewhere over Texas.
Gray Day at Pacific Beach
Though sun and fun and surf (and turf?) may be the core of the SoCal identity, even Pacific Beach gets a gray winter day.
Impossible Chapel View
When showing this picture of Trinity College’s chapel and Long Walk to a fellow alum, his first question was, “Where did you go to take this?” A near-lifetime of seeing the same perspectives from the same high points on campus made a shot like this one a complete surprise—a reaction that I’m always happy to provide.
Thanksgiving in Hartford, 2025
Happy Thanksgiving from Decaseconds and from lovely Bushnell Park.
An Unusual Long Walk Perspective
The impossibility of this particular view of Trinity’s Long Walk keeps my eye returning to the perspective line as the building stretches away in the distance but doesn’t leave the frame.
