WARREN, CONNECTICUT – Well we’re still here. We woke up to a dense fog at daybreak. Taken with a Hasselblad H4D-60. Not much use for all of that resolution in this image.
On this day one year ago: St. Andrews Episcopal Church.
WARREN and DABURY CONNECTICUT – I’ve got a couple of images for New Years Eve. We had an excellent sunset, followed by a costume party given by our friends Bill and Bunny Beekman. The sunset is three frames stitched taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60 and a 100mm lens.
Maria went dressed as a nun Here she is in character, taken with my Panasonic GF-1 and a 14mm pancake lens. This is genuinely scary.
Finally, New Years greetings from me, with Francesca.
On this day one year ago: Guess what? A New Year’s Eve party at the Beekmans.
WARREN CONNECTICUT. More winter. This was a strange storm – the high winds actually stripped the snow off of the landscape and deposited it behind whatever obstructions got in the way. So the landscape consists mainly of windswept fields. Here’s an example taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60 and the HTS 1.5 tilt shift adapter with an HCD 28 lens. Here I’ve used a tilt to exaggerate the out of focus aspects of the image
On this day last year: Salem Covenant Church, Washington Connecticut.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A quiet day in the snow-covered countryside. This with my Hasselblad H4D-60.
On this date one year ago: Out my office window in lovely light.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Toward the end of the day the sky has began to clear, but if anything the wind has increased. The gusts must be 60 or 70 miles per hour. It’s freezing cold. I ended up shooting with my Hasselblad and using the car as a tripod, shooting out the car window using a beanbag as a support. Here’s a windswept field.
On this day one year ago: Travel day – Francesca at Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Another personal favorite from the past year.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – The leading edge of the Boxing Day blizzard. We stocked up on food in the morning on the theory that the blizzard would leave us snow bound for a couple of days, which turned out to be the case. Here’s an image from the early hours of the storm, taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60 and a tilt shift adapter that permits view camera-like movements, that I’ve used here to enhance the shallow depth of field. The image is in color but the weather froze the color out of the landscape.
On this day one year ago: San Miguel de Allende.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We’re spending the Christmas holiday in Connecticut. We haven’t done this for a while – last year we took our family to San Miguel de Allende for the Holidays (as you will see from the “on this day last year” photos). I caught this view of our daughter, Francesca, trimming our Christmas tree. Leica M9 and a 35mm Summilux II lens.
One year ago on this date: Monarch butterfly migration. I’m taking the liberty of reproducing this one at full blog size – it’s one of my favorite images since I’ve started this project.
