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. Â The approach is frontal. Â 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. Â 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.
