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.
Colors from the Samuel Beckett Bridge
Bridges over the River Liffey shift from the historical to the more modern in pace with the architecture.
Chapel Against Spring Clouds
Spending so much time on Trinity’s campus through a long, perfect spring, I’ve been contemplating what makes it so aesthetically appealing—what makes it the place that really motivated me to get into photography to begin with. The contrast between imposing, heavy, harsh neogothic structures and delicate, organic, fragile magnolias makes both seem so much more specific and unique.
Night on the Streets of Dublin
In comparison with landscape and sports photography, I’m far less experienced with the world of street photography. On this particular November evening on the streets of Dublin, I thought it might be fun to push my technical limits a bit.
Spring Light Highlights the Long Walk
Though a city might not seem like the most obvious place to celebrate Earth Day, I’ve honestly been astonished since my move to Hartford just how many big old trees shelter the city. Between the greenery and the public transportation, this place gives me some optimism.
Spring Elm on the Quad
With the right perspective, this old elm can tower over even the top of the chapel on a just-post-storming spring evening.
Tall Ship on the Liffey
Antique and futuristic aesthetics collide and reflect on the River Liffey in Dublin.
Northam Sun
Bright spring light graces the rooftops and treetops of Trinity College, even at the end of the day.
Frog Hollow
Hartford’s Frog Hollow neighborhood is home to Broad Street, seen at the left side of this image. Just beyond its bounds is downtown Hartford. Until flying my drone, I had never seen the two in contrast like this. They make quite a pair.
A Spring Morning at Trinity College
Perfect, breezy, warm, and effulgent spring days have sprawled across Trinity’s campus, rather like students on the quad. Grading papers in my office can at least be softened by an open window and the resulting smell of flowers.
“No Filter”/Obligatory Eclipse Image
And of course, I had to take a picture of the eclipse. I stepped out from lab with my camera but didn’t have a filter. Instead, I took narrowed down the aperture and aimed to get some rainbow effects that might spice up the image.
Rider with the Crest
Piper riding Sundae at Kent has provided some opportunities for charming shots, like this one that happened to align perfectly with the cross in the bottom of their school seal.
Snow Tree Structure
When only the snow-coated branches of a tree stand out above the roofline of a nearby building, the result is a bright and dramatic view of their structure.
Chapel Repairs in the Snow
Trinity College’s Chapel is encrusted and decorated with two types of brightwork: both snow and scaffolding.
