Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday!  I was out last night walking off all the food I ate, lol.  These are some of my newest creations from last night.....I LOVE black and white photography!  See if you can recognize where each photo was taken. :) K

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone stayed safe, warm and dry during Storm Ashford last night.  The roads got a little treacherous during the evening so hopefully many, if not all of you, were off the roads. The holiday lighting was mesmerizing against the snow last night.  I was fortunate enough to get a couple of shots in before the snow picked up.  I am loving all the beautiful lighting and the creativity that I'm seeing.  It is definitely looking like Winter Wonderland!  There will be more to come, so stay tuned.  Don't be surprised if you see YOUR lighting next! Til next time, K

It was beautiful today!

Hi Everyone, I'm relatively new to shooting at night and I find that I enjoy it.  One of the things I love most about photography is that I'm constantly learning something new. Despite the cold, its like a whole other world at night because there are people out and about but everyone is on a more relaxed level.  People are out strolling, jogging, walking their pets and just generally taking their time.  The pace is much different that what we see during the day. Tonight, I went back out and wanted to play around with the Capitol.  This is what I came up with....hope you enjoy and stay tuned! :) K

It may be chilly, and it may be dark but there is plenty of nightlife in The Bushnell Park.  To the right and to the left all you can see are lights.  The carousel is covered in lights, the trees are lit and in the distance is the beautifully lit Capitol, very picturesque.  Last, but not least, is the ice skating rink in the park for everyone's enjoyment.  People of all ages were ice skating and having a great time....and guess what?  There is no cost.  No cost to skate and no cost for the use of the skates.  No need to be concerned about safety as Hartford Police is on the scene supervising the entire time as well as "Staff" on the rink.  A concession stand is nearby for snacks and hot beverages.  I grabbed a coffee for $1.00 while I watched and shot. It was a beautiful night and I truly enjoyed seeing parents with small children, couples, and lots of young people out having fun.  If you get a chance, come out and see for yourself.....I may see you there!:) K

I was driving home today thinking to myself that its a shame that I can't drive and take pictures at the same time.  I turned off the radio and was watching the different directions the sun was going.  One minute it was blinding me, the next it was on the side of me and then behind me causing the most beautiful reflections.  This is the type of thing that we don't take notice of on a daily basis as we are going from one place to another.  We tend to be too busy to notice everyday beautiful things, that yes, we all take for granted.  I guess today was my day to see how beautiful the sun is.  I saw the sun reflect off foliage, cars, water and finally set.  Take a few minutes one day on your drive home from work or wherever you may be coming or going, turn off your radio, clear your mind and just look around you.  The birds will be louder than you've ever heard them, the sun will be twice as bright and I guarantee you will see or notice something that has always been there but

Hello Everyone, Last weekend I took a trip to Portland and photographed the Arrigoni Bridge, more popularly known as the Portland Bridge, which connects Portland and Middletown over the Connecticut River.  The bridge was named after state legislator Charles J. Arrigoni and is the longest bridge in Connecticut.

The Ruins of the Stocking Mill in Cotton Hollow in Glastonbury, CT. The mill supplied gunpowder to George Washington's Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and was one of four gunpowder mills in New England. The mill was owned and operated by George Stocking and his three sons. However, in 1777 there was an explosion and the mill was destroyed. George, two of his sons, and two workers were killed. His wife, Eunice, rebuilt the mill and continued supplying gunpowder until the end of the Revolutionary War. This is what remains of the rebuilt mill.  The first picture is a close up of the remaining structure.  The second picture is what can be seen as you are approaching the remains from the trail.    

Hi Everyone! Thank you all for making my debut a great, positive one!  I had a lot of positive feedback on my website and was able to correspond with some of you about what I do as well as some of your individual needs.  It was definitely a good day! :)  Please don't hesitate to contact me for quotes.  I look forward to working with you all!

I'm pleased that you have stopped by and hope that you continue to do so in the future.  My blog is my way of sharing my view of the world with you.  I love to work with my camera and am constantly capturing moments as I see them.  Thank you for visiting my blog...Welcome! and Enjoy! :) These two photos were taken on a quiet afternoon during the week.  It was the perfect beautiful day, probably one of the last warm, sunny days before we head into the winter.  These two both appeared to be reflecting and enjoying the warm sun.  The girl on the river, I actually found by accident.  I was coming around a big tree and just happened to see her there.  She looked so content and peaceful sitting there....how often do you see our younger generation just sitting and enjoying the day without their phone or some sort of electronic device?         This gentleman was truly enjoying the warm sun.  He was sitting in his chair, with his eyes closed, literally feeling the warm sun on
