During our two-or-so hour Salton Sea sojourn, there was much to be seen as light fell swiftly. Leaving Bombay Beach, our group trailed up the gravely roads on foot paralleling the Chocolate Mountains, which revealed their every crevice with the setting sun. This is a fleeting memento of the transient memories and of more to [...]
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. The pianist needed a little bit of a pick-me-up and what better choice than a phone book that no one or [...]
The Deep River Theater is hidden to the average eye. In fact, I had no idea it even existed until a couple of weeks ago when I covered Jams for Cans, a benefit concert requiring three or more cans for admission that would be donated to the local food pantry. A lovely event, it was [...]
In effort to increase exercise in today’s children, a local East Haven school sports a program called KiDSMARATHON, whereas students from all grades run one mile after school 25 times a year. The final event will span one mile and 385 yards completing the marathon. In all honesty, I believe the kids just like the [...]
While photographing a golf match for the newspaper, I began chatting with an older man with a slight hearing deficiency. Besides the fact that conversations as such are entertaining and aggravating considering that you need to repeat yourself a few times, he spotted a hawk that just had perched on a branch across the way. [...]
East Rock stands at a staggering 366 feet and features a gargantuan 112-foot pillar known as the “Soldiers and Sailors Monument.” Atop on a clear day, one could see for miles supposedly stretching as far as four or five surrounding states. I have yet to bear witness. The weather-beaten copper obelisk commemorates New Haven history [...]
High School Musical are at their all time high. This girl is playing the witch for the production of “Into the Woods.” She is calling out to the giant who keeps taking lives until Jack is delivered. In the smaller image, John Lampe directs his double cast in “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”
There is a beautiful, Walt Disney-like tree in my mother’s long and narrow city-suburban hybrid of a backyard. It towers our home and all the others around it at a staggering (and approximate) seventy-five feet. The trunk is roughly eight feet wide and about ten feet high. The leaves morph from green to a purple-ish [...]
This factory is a re-purposed building now housing marinas, restaurants and a variety of cultural things. Naturally, I was always drawn to its dilapidated state. 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 [...]
