WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – Well here it is, Fathers Day again. This is a stupid ersatz “holiday” made up by greeting card publishers, but my public position on it is that it’s the most important holiday on the calendar. At least that’s what I tell my children.

Alexander and I celebrated by playing a round of golf. When asked if I play I can truthfully say “no”, but I do own a set of clubs and maintain a golf membership at our local club in Connecticut. Anyway, here’s Alexander doing what he does best on the golf course, which is pounding the hell out of the ball off the tee – he outdrives me by about the length of Central Park.

On this day one year ago: a shot (which no one much liked) of a perennial boarder in Connecticut.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I don’t usually shoot with long lenses. As I’ve noted elsewhere my most energetic work tends to be shot with wide angle or very wide angle lenses. But having a Panasonic GH2 and a 200mm-600mm equivalent lens has encouraged me experiment a bit with telephotos. Here’s the view from a friend’s building site over looking Lake Waramaug and Hopkins Vineyard.

On this day one year ago: Alexander Campbell, our son.

WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – Today we went to a service at the Washington Congregational Church – our daughter and her fiance were with us. They are planning on getting married here next year. After the service I photographed the interior. I’ve done many exterior images of this building on these pages: Under the portico. Washington Congregational Church exterior. Washington Congregational Church detail. Taken with my Alpha Max and a 36mm Schneider lens. Two frames stitched.

On this day last year: Another pinhole image – this one in Milford PA.

WARREN CONNECTICUT. More winter. This was a strange storm – the high winds actually stripped the snow off of the landscape and deposited it behind whatever obstructions got in the way. So the landscape consists mainly of windswept fields. Here’s an example taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60 and the HTS 1.5 tilt shift adapter with an HCD 28 lens. Here I’ve used a tilt to exaggerate the out of focus aspects of the image

On this day last year: Salem Covenant Church, Washington Connecticut.

WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – Here’s another angle on the Washington Congregational Church, first presented on these pages here: follow this link for information on Washington CT. This is with my new Leica 35mm Summilux FLE lens – I’m experimenting with the out of focus rendering.

WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to photograph the Washington Connecticut Congregational Church. There is a large tree in front of it – very close, actually – so it’s hard to get an angle on it even with a very wide lens and a shift capability. I decided to shoot it through the tree once the leaves were off. I did some details of it last year – here’s my entry from November 29, 2010 which includes some historical narrative about the structure. Anyway, this is with my Hasselblad H3d-39:

This is the image from last year:

On this day one year ago: Construction site. In terms of star ratings this is the least popular image ever on this site.

NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – There are two Congregational Church buildings in New Preston. For most of the year the congregation meets in a lovely classical New England structure on a hill near the center of the village, which I photographed at sunrise on November 7, 2009. Here’s a link: New Preston Church During the summer months the congregation meets in a stone building a few miles away.

Taken with a Leica M9 and 35mm Summicron Asph. lens. Three frames stitched with Autopano Pro. Perspective touched up in Photoshop.
