NO SITTING FEE

Bluefield, Virginia

The small town of Bluefield, Virginia, appears devoted to its pets. The storefront on the main road through town seemed to be a combination grooming salon and pet portrait studio. Just around the corner was the sign for another grooming place.

Drain Pipe

Winsted, Connecticut

Part of an old factory complex, originally powered by the nearby river. Like almost all factories around this area, it is partly in deteriorating disuse, partly repurposed as warehouse and office space.

Mail Slot

Torrington, Connecticut

The Yankee Peddler Inn is undergoing renovations, and some of the storefronts on Main Street at the first floor level of the building are boarded up. "Platinum" is a beauty salon that's clear and open for business.

Forecasts

Woodbury, Connecticut

Friday overnight they forecast three inches of snow, and we got ten. I hadn't gotten gas for the snow blower and messed up my back clearing a path out for one of the cars. Last night they forecast 15°, and we got 2°F instead. At least the lines to the darkroom sink are OK.

New Boiling Seafood

Winsted, Connecticut

If the idea of the pictures is to make the food look appetizing, somehow they missed the boat.

Morning Fog

Woodbury, Connecticut

I've always loved "interesting" weather. Over the coming fall and winter I want to make a project of a series of pictures in dramatic weather and light. The goal will eventually be a set of small-to-medium size platinum prints. The shooting will be digital capture to have a maximum of freedom and responsiveness to deal with rapidly changing situations. This first one came right after dawn yesterday. As always here, if you click on the picture area you'll get a larger and better view.

Theater Entrance

Pulaski, Virginia

Small downtown theater still surviving with live shows and special events.
