NEW PRESTON CONNECTICUT – Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church.   Founded 1764 according to the sign in front of the church.  The building was dedicated in 1822.  The brickwork in the steeple is a different color and was painted to match, suggesting a fire or other damage and repairs along the way.

NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – Lois Conner, a friend and teacher, told me never to photograph in cemeteries. This image exploits the lovely rendering of the out of focus portions of the image possible with the lens that I’m using: the Lecia M 35mm Summicron.  Here’s a link to a listing of everyone who is interred in this cemetery: Interred in New Preston

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.
