With Hartford’s skyline looking on in the background, the brutalist facade of Trinity College’s LSC matches the carefully graded dirt of its adjacent quad before a thick layer of new sod was applied.

Any Bench in the Storm 2004
I decided to make my collection of photographs from my time as a student available to Trinity’s social media team, which required sorting and uploading them. Among the random motion-blurred messes of my past, I encountered the occasional serendipitous moments of actually striking photography.
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.
Connecticut State Office Building
Bushnell Theater and the Connecticut State Office Building across the street look warm and inviting in the dusk light—friendly in a way I wouldn’t otherwise associate with massive facades.
Bushnell Tower Face
Legend has it that the southern face of Bushnell Tower is nearly windowless because it was meant to closely face a mirror twin of the building (never constructed); now it remains a mysterious facade that adds character to the historic structure.
Collegiate Perfection
The end of the semester (and some final-exam stress) nears but for now, relaxing on the quad on a warm and sunny spring day could be the move.
Clement on a Spring Morning
Clement Chemistry Building is surrounded by flowering plants that complement its red stone structure on perfect spring morning.
Bushnell Tower After the Rain
Bushnell Tower’s stark concrete looks particularly textured and entrancing as it dries after a rain storm
Down a Hartford Canyon
The tiny people on the sidewalks below structures like the Gold Building provide an impactful sense of scale to this drone image of Downtown Hartford.
Quiet Snow on the Long Walk
Midwinter break left the normally bustling Long Walk of Trinity College empty for a moment but a quiet post-snowfall sunset cast shadows into the footsteps the students left behind.
Gentle Light on Travelers Tower
Can you spot the Moon hiding in the clouds behind Travelers Tower? Blue hour images like this one used to be a long effort on my part to find my way into and climb to the top of some building… Now, they’re the result of nearly trivial efforts on the part of my drone. Architecture photography really has changed.
Clement in Snow
The bold gothic shapes of Clement Chemistry Building are extra-sharp beneath a layer of snow and scattered with golden sunset light.
Marathon from Above
Small people, long shadows, and an even longer way to go—the Hartford Marathon went past our building.
Clear the Snow, Start the Sports
With snow removed after the storm, sports teams return to their respective fields to play beneath lights both natural and artificial.
Tracks in Trinity Snow
“Trinity Days” is our college’s late-winter break, which typically leaves campus quiet, but a coating of snow just before classes ended left an array of bootprints to mark their exit.
