NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – I’ve decided to photograph all of the churches in Litchfield County, Connecticut, very much working in the shadow of Walker Evans. The approach is frontal. You can see a similar esthetic in the “Small Town” images on my landscape gallery, and for that matter in 30 Rock taken on November 6. This is one of two Congregational churches in New Preston that serve the same parish (the other is the Stone Church). Captured at sunrise.

Woody,
A beautiful framing. I’d have guessed the shot was taken more late morning given the downward shadowing. The barren trees are classic pre-winter November and the high sky is peaceful and clean.
