A quick switch from farmland to city marks the strange bucolic character of Lexington, Kentucky.

The Old Touchless Car Wash
When is an abandoned building not abandoned? When the new car wash was built 100 feet away on the same lot, leaving this one looking rather out of place.
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.
Three Views of the Hartford Marathon
The Hartford Marathon traveled past our house and provided an opportunity to capture some weirdly empty-of-cars/full-of-runners streets.
Like molecules through a chromatographic column, the runners spaced farther and farther apart as the race went.
The views closer to home produced intense shadows best viewed in black and white.
LSC in Black and White
From a circa-2008 view to the present day—just before the construction fences came down—we see the progression of LSC through time.
Moving Things in Amsterdam
In a city of bicycles and public transportation, I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised to see some old-school mass transport taking place.

Checking out the FD
Imagery of JDM classics makes them seem larger-than-life, but a side-by-side image with everyday people reveals just how compact cars like the Mazda RX-7 were.
Evergreen Spikes
Thanksgiving Break is upon us and Clement Chemistry Building is (mostly) quiet.
Lee Looks at Lake Mohonk
Our stay at Mohonk Mountain House last fall produced so many images I loved. I posted the first of them last October, and today (more than a year later) I post the last. This nook between glacial cliffs is simultaneously private and yet offers an exceptional view of the lake and Skytop perched on the cliff in the distance. This is the perfect place to spend an afternoon reading a book.
Trinity’s Campanile
I’ll soon be starting work at Trinity, but it doesn’t have a campanile. I went to grad school at Berkeley, which has a campanile. Only at the Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, however, did I find a Trinity that has a campanile of its own.
Pyramid in the Water
Whether water or earth, the nonlinear and irregular forms of nature are in stark contrast with the Bombay Beach tetrahedron’s straight lines and round connectors.
Coachella Valley Hillside
Big, dramatic American landscapes, red filters, and square aspect ratios might be a cliché combination, but while Ansel Adams shot with a tiny aperture for deep and pin-sharp focus, I feel like this wide-open approach and its soft bokeh provide a new twist.
Almost-Three-Day Beard
I don’t often do self-portraits, but the stubble-and-canvas textures of this particular evening really stuck with me.
Shades of Pestle Stones
Rough rocks, fuzzy trees, and long-exposure-smoothed water make this a North Country texture combo platter.
ODY in B&W
I recently returned to this shot from 2015 to reprocess the original raw for a calendar of B&W images for St. Lawrence. While it may not have Iwan Baan‘s level of people in the image, the bicycle adds a nice sense of quiet, human scale to the setting.
