Pinchbeck’s Rose Farm had been supplying the Guilford community and beyond with prized roses since 1929. Built by the founder, William Pinchbeck, Jr., the property’s main greenhouse spans an astonishing 1,200-feet long and 81-feet wide, while the second is half the length at 600-feet long, 81-feet wide. At one time, the farm housed 90,000 rose [...]
In an epiphanic moment, additional photos from my summer travels presented themselves on my not-at-home office computer. I was so excited to find something I forgot, but unknowingly misplaced! Anyhow, Chris and I traveled through the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts* on the 5- or 6-hour drive back from the Grand Canyon. Never before had I [...]
Ahhh, the classic colors and harmonious sounds of Christmas are quite engulfing these days. If you’re a grinch, you might not appreciate it, but I find the spirit truly heartwarming. If you’re curious to hear and see the likes of a New England Christmas, you need not go very far:
East Haven High School’s Yellow Jacket Marching Band held their annual Winter Concert this week past. A greatly talented group that performs so well can only get there with the support of their peers.

I have probably passed this factory more than a hundred times over the years (either didn’t have my camera or was in a rush or, quite frankly, something inexcusable). The [...]
Getting around this four-story building, you secretly needed a death wish. There’s a good reason it was leveled in the coming years. The main staircase had collapsed, the roof exhibited a double scallop, the floors were giving into one another, the wiring was exposed, and the Earth was fusing with the exoskeleton. The only entryway [...]
Over the next several days, I will be posting much of my film work that has kind of been stuffed in a corner for quite some time. This is brought on by the tragic death of eight of my most favorite 16×20 final fiber prints. Andto make matters worse, I have pretty much zero access [...]
From across the ancient grounds of Palatino, the Colosseum can be seen from many an angle. Walking along Via di San Bonaventura, Chris and I sauntered pass this very formidable and crumbling entryway which apparently leads to a basilica church devoted to Saint Sebastian and a covenant as well. Surrepitiously, I capture a stranger walking [...]
