Skeleton Hand

This photo in no way reflects the beautiful weather we have had the past couple of days. But this is New England and it can snow in April. I like how this one plays with the idea of photography compressing dimensions. I think there is a technical term for that but I am drawing a blank on it at the moment.

Zelnick Pavilion

I'm not too sure about this photo. I shot it with a borrowed Nikon 12-24mm lens and was just sort of playing around. This building is on the campus of Wesleyan University, where I work, and frankly it is photographed far too often and if you ask me it looks like a sore thumb in the row of brownstone buildings built in the 1800's. But that's beside the point. I guess I just liked how the clouds reflected in the windows. I straightened the heck out of this using the lens correction filter in Photoshop CS2. Excellent tool. And that lens is awesome, by the way. Shooting with a D70s, I lose a lot on the wide-angle end of the spectrum, and this lens opens your view right up.

Serpent

Like some sci-fi creature, this flexible pipe snakes its way into the river...

Deck Railing After a Light Rain

I love simplicity in imagery. I love negative space. I love the little details that you only notice if you pay attention. For me, photography is about finding beauty in my surroundings, no matter what those surroundings may be. Here, it is a couple of drops of water clinging to a deck railing after falling from the sky the night before.

Two Geese and a Seagull

A cold and foggy day on the Niantic River in March.

Fort Griswold

I finally had a chance to check out this Civil War fort next to the Thames River in Groton, CT. It is very well preserved and further restorations are underway. Kinda creepy to walk the grounds, knowing that a lot of people died there. The same can be said for so many locations in the world I suppose.
