The weekend’s Capitol Groove concert brought thousands together to watch acts like Khruangbin and Thundercat jam in Bushnell Park.

Race Track Landscape
Lime Rock Park is a classic racing circuit among the rolling hills of northwestern Connecticut; while each of these components is visually compelling, I’m still working at finding the right way to combine the two different scales into a single image that captures the experience.
Clement, Raether, and the Hartford Skyline
The warm sodium glow of Trinity College’s campus by night—Clement Chemistry Building and Raether Library in the foreground, the chapel and the Hartford skyline in the background—highlights (in a literal, X-marks-the-spot manner) the contrast between being a student and a faculty member here. Though the same institution, the same general campus, I spend my time now in completely different places than I once did. A prime example is the X-marked courtyard between the two buildings—a place I walked through perhaps 10 times total as a student, but where I now pause for coffee with my colleagues nearly every morning.
Red Miatas
Red-hot weather needs a pack of red-hot Miatas—in a color Mazda designers evidently love.
Giant Valley Polo Club
At Connecticut’s oldest still-active polo grounds, two cozy teams of amateur polo players clashed on what was once a hay field. With the old barn in the background, the image almost feels like it could be happening at any moment in the past hundred years.
Harvest Miata
Through the warm hues of early-autumn grasses, I guess this Miata just wanted to escape the harvest.
Core Campus on a Summer Night
Summer nights on Trinity College’s campus are quiet but the paths and buildings remain as effulgent as ever. There’s a luminous quality to this aerial view that really captures the sensory experience of exploring the quads by night.
Bad Day for Miata
MiataCon is mostly a fun day for Miatas, for but these examples, the situation was a bit less optimal.
As the NASCAR fans say, “If you ain’t rubbin’, you ain’t racing’.”
Given the ingenuity of pit crews, I expect these Miatas will be back in action before we know it.
Battleship Miata
Look at the juxtaposition of the very serious battleship-gray paint and tinted headlights with that adorable smiling happy Miata face—it gets me every time.
Long Walk Indomitable
The monolithic shadowed face of Trinity College’s Long Walk is particularly dramatic as morning sunshine bounces from the leaves of the surrounding trees.
(And yes, I’m still six months behind processing pictures. And autumn in New England looks great.)
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 996
A Porsche 911 hides in an underground garage like the batmobile, its 3.6 L flat six engine sounding even better than Batman’s turbine.
Marathoners IV
Emerging from the shadow of Bushnell Tower in downtown Hartford, marathon runners bunch and clump and distribute stochastically through the otherwise-empty streets.
LSC Solar
Looking over the campus rooftops (and their cozy position in the hills around them), the difference between old and recently renovated is readily apparent in a transformation from black to white-with-solar-panels.
Relaxing on the Quad After Finals
After the stress of final exams tapers away, seniors have a week to kill time before graduating—and where better to spend it than catching rays on the quad?
Fall at the Red Brick Campus
Red bricks match red leaves on every tree—except for those elms that stubbornly refuse to turn until months later.
