February 8, 2017 8315 I missed a day – yesterday’s snow/ice presented a picturesque New England backdrop for creating images (I even had the day off!), but I totally bricked… That temperatures stayed below freezing overnight was an okay consolation – plenty of ice covered branches and such. While driving conditions
January 30, 2017 8188 Today was taxing. Attending to international student concerns and well-being following a weekend in which an ambiguous Presidential order on immigration created so many issues and questions… An afterwork meeting added to the day’s length and I arrived home close to 8:00. I wanted to get at least
January 29, 2017 Hadley, MA 8172 Another mild day for January. Temperatures were in the low 40’s and the sun peeked out every once in a while, making it a great day to get outdoors. We’re fortunate to live so close to such diverse hiking and nature trails – there’s something
January 28, 2017 8152 Canon 50D Available light in the kitchen – “E” and I took a moment for cups of tea this afternoon. It’s the kind of cold overcast day that invites hunkering down (and naps). Alas, no naps, but a nice quiet afternoon with soft, even light. Here,

January 23, 2017 8053 Canon 50D ISO 1600 @ 1/50 Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 @f1.4 More work with available light indoors – this day I switched out my Canon 50mm STM lens for the manual focus Pentax 50mm f1.4 Super Takumar. I love the speed of the lens (f1.4!)
January 21, 2017 Holyoke, MA 7980 Temperatures climbed into the 50’s today, so “E” and I headed to Ashley Reservoir for a walk. It felt more like March, though the ice on the reservoir served as a reminder that it isn’t. This view between the trees caught my eye both
January 20, 2017 7954 Today was inauguration day – As this day approached, I wrestled with a host of emotions – in particular, a strong sense of hopelessness and insignificance. But instead of watching inaugural events, I spent the day in Springfield learning about emerging industry, community and neighborhood leaders
January 19, 2017 7944 This is our cat Garfunkel – I was looking for a subject I could shoot in ambient light at a higher ISO and she happened to jump up onto the arm of the couch. Of course, she was in the way of other things and was
