Continuing where I left off, the end-of-semester highly distracting snowfall on Trinity College was a perfect temporary respite.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Long Walk After Snow
Despite any efforts to the contrary, nostalgia sneaks into my life at moments I least expect. Trinity’s Long Walk was my undergraduate home for several years and this particular moment—a winter evening, as the sun goes down and the smell of dinner cooking in the dining hall climbs aboard the surprisingly warm breeze—was so evocative of the experiences that made me fall in love with campus 20 years ago.
Radiates Through the Chapel
Trinity College’s chapel is a beautiful piece of twentieth-century neo-Gothic architecture, but the interaction with the sunset sky brought a whole new appreciation for the structure. The gold light of the sky comes through the open belfry, but electrical lighting elements that shine up the structure from beneath the belfry happened to also match the sunset color and the position along the horizon, producing the odd trompe l’oeil of the structure appearing to allow the viewer to see through the mountains in the distance to even more sky beyond.
Snow on The Hall
Trinity College’s chapter of St. Anthony Hall (a.k.a. “The Hall) may currently be closed, but a coating of snow still leaves it looking festive.

Winter Farm Sky
Before the advent of drones with front-mounted cameras that can point up (without photographing the bottom of the drone body above them), I never thought of capturing a big dramatic sky so completely while flying.
Winter Arrives Early to Stowe, Vermont
We’ve been visiting Stowe, Vermont for a long time and I’ve even shown you this creek before, but today I bring you an entirely new and more wintery perspective, flying high over the snow-touched village.
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.
Nor’easter Snow Day
Snow days are rare for adults—but when a nor’easter completely fuses Hartford in place, there’s not much else to do but ride it out. The resulting images were cold but cozy—ready to go with a warm beverage and a good book.
