LITCHFIELD CONNECTICUT – I spent the late afternoon giving myself a walking tour of North Street in Litchfield. Here’s a link to the Wikipedia article on the Litchfield Historic District. Shot with my Alpa TC and 47mm Schneider XL lens. Two frames stitched.
On this day one year ago: Infrared image. One of the better examples of these.
NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – Here’s the New Preston Congregational Church captured in profile with my Alpa TC, 36mm Schneider lens and 60 meg Hasselblad digital back. I’ve been here before with a camera – a full frontal view is the subject of my post for November 7, 2009 – in one of the early shots in my ongoing project on Churches in Litchfield County.
On this day one year ago: Boating on Lake Waramaug in our 1956 Chris Craft.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I walked around our Warren property this morning with my Alpa TC, a 36mm Schneider lens and a 60 meg Hasselblad back. Finally, I mean finally its really spring here. The shadow of the tree in the first image has an anthropomorphic quality that I really like
On this day last year: a Tiepolo sunset. For all of my fussing about not doing sunsets one of my favorites from last year.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A perfect clear, cold day for landscape photograph. I took this image with my Hasselblad H4D-60 and a 150mm lens and converted the image to grayscale. This camera is producing the most film-like results that I’ve gotten since I started using digital.
On this day one year ago: Blizzard!
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took my Leica M9 out today with a wide lens (24mm Summilux) looking for wind-carved snow in fading, oblique light. I was pleased with what I was seeing and enjoyed take the images, but on reviewing the images none jumped out at me. Perhaps this is a worn-out subject (at least through my eyes).
We had dinner with some friends at Winvian, a nearby inn. A woman at the next table turned out to have a food blog. She included a reference to me – an odd experience for someone who avoids the limelight – in her entry on Winvian. Here’s a link: It’s All Fare.
Anyway here’s wind-carved snow:
On this day one year ago: Luke Tanner’s cornfield.
LITCHFIELD CONNECTICUT – I spent some time in this historic old village exercising my Hasselblad, taking full frontal images of some of the buildings in town. Here’s the Union Savings Bank Building, conveniently located right next to the historic Litchfield jail. The sign looks sort of temporary. I’m guessing here (I’ll check this out with some of our local friends) that this was formerly the First National Bank of Litchfield, which was merged into the Union Savings Bank earlier this year.
On this day one year ago: Brooklyn Bridge.
LITCHFIELD CONNECTICUT – A farm stand next to my regular hardware store. Still shooting very wide with the digital Leica.
On this day one year ago: Subway entrance.
