I’m a camera enjoyer and a photographer. Mostly Nikon gear both film and digital. Primarily nature and landscapes.

Hiking goes hand in hand with my photography.

Recreation area at the East Shore park. I think it was a roller skate rink or something.

#believeinfilm
This is a black and white photograph of an outdoor recreational area. The scene is divided by a white, broken fence that runs from the bottom right corner towards the center of the image. The fence is made of posts and horizontal rails, with some of the rails broken or missing. To the left of the fence is a paved or asphalt court, possibly for tennis or basketball, with a faint white line running parallel to the fence. The surface appears well-worn. To the right of the fence is a grassy park area. A dirt or paved path runs through the grass, and a few bare-branched trees stand tall with shadows stretching out on the ground. In the background, beyond the court and the park, is a dense line of trees that creates a dark, solid backdrop. In the center of the image, where the court meets the grassy area, a small, square building with what looks like a few chairs sits in front of the trees.

Ok last one for today. Sorry for flooding feeds with photos but it's been a while.

A train going past behind a flowering tree from the spring in Windsor Locks, CT.

This is a black and white, horizontal photograph capturing a blurry, low-angle view of a train moving quickly from left to right. The train's lower body and wheels are mostly obscured, but the side of the car is visible. The number "97" is clearly visible on the side of the train car. The motion blur suggests the train is traveling at a high speed. The foreground and much of the right side of the image are framed by a flowering tree with many white blossoms. The branches and flowers fill the upper portion of the frame, creating a soft contrast to the hard, industrial subject of the train. The ground beneath the train tracks is covered in a bed of gravel. In the immediate foreground, a patch of grassy ground is visible. The scene combines the natural beauty of the blooming tree with the raw power of the moving train.

The White House

#believeinfilm
This is a black and white, eye-level photograph of a weathered, single-story house. The front of the house is dominated by a central, dark-colored door with a decorative transom window above it. The siding is made of what appears to be horizontal clapboard, and a few small steps lead up to the entrance. Two multi-paned windows are visible on either side of the door. The roof is covered in rows of shingles. The house is partially obscured by overgrown vegetation. A large, well-trimmed evergreen bush is on the left, next to the front steps. On the right, a wilder assortment of bushes and plants nearly covers the front of the house, including a prominent lamppost with an elaborate top. The ground in the foreground is a mix of grass and dirt. A few discarded items, including what looks like a broken wagon or cart with large wheels, are partially visible in the lower right corner, just behind the thick vegetation. The overall scene has a slightly rustic and neglected feel due to the overgrown nature and the weathered look of the building.

Swan Jug

#believeinfilm
This is a black and white, close-up photograph of an old, weathered milk can sitting on a patch of grassy ground. The can is tall, cylindrical, and has two handles on the upper sides. An artistic drawing is visible on the front of the can, depicting a swan with a long, graceful neck, surrounded by what appear to be large, leafy plants. The can is quite worn, with flaking paint and rust. Behind the can, a shorter, decorative, black metal object with a perforated pattern can be seen. The ground is a mix of dried grass, small stones, and dirt. In the background, there's a jumble of dry, twisted branches and other discarded items, including a white, rectangular object that could be a wooden frame or a door. The overall scene suggests a neglected or overgrown outdoor space, perhaps a backyard or an old worksite. The lighting is fairly even, and the image has a gritty texture, characteristic of film photography.

Old industrial building behind some a flowering tree back in spring.

This is a black and white photograph of an old, multi-story brick building, partially obscured by a flowering tree on the right. In the foreground, there is a grassy area leading up to a pair of parallel railroad tracks set on a bed of gravel and ballast. The tracks run horizontally across the frame, separating the foreground from the background. The building itself is a large, industrial structure with numerous arched and rectangular windows. A prominent feature on the left side of the building is a long, angled walkway or conveyor belt supported by metal trusses, which extends from an upper level of the building out of the frame. This structure, along with the building's facade, suggests a former factory or warehouse. The flowering tree on the right is in full bloom, with its light-colored blossoms creating a soft, blurry frame for the scene. The overall feel of the photo is one of industrial history mixed with a touch of nature.

#BelieveInFilm
This is a black and white photograph of a rustic, single-story building with a sign above the porch that reads, "The Old Country Store." The building has a shingled roof and is framed by trees, with sunlight shining brightly from behind the roofline. The front of the store is filled with various items for sale, giving it the appearance of a cozy, cluttered shop. The entrance, in the center of the building, is a wooden doorway, and on either side, large windows display more of the store's wares. A porch runs the full length of the building, with a ground-level area in front of it that looks like a dirt or gravel path. On the left side of the porch, a wooden ladder leans against the building, next to a white wooden railing. A large, circular object, possibly a stone grinding wheel, rests on the ground nearby. The right side of the porch is also densely decorated with various objects, including another rustic ladder and what looks like a bundle of sticks tied together. A small table with a potted plant on top sits near the entrance, and a hanging planter can be seen overhead. Overall, the image gives a feeling of being in a classic, old-fashioned general store.

I've been enjoying the prerelease of Debian Trixie for a few weeks now on my Thinkpad. So far so good and the final release should be out soon.

Nice place. I frequented that lighthouse quite a bit when I lived up there.

Black and white photo of a boardwalk from a low point of view. Boardwalk is lined with metal rails and wooden pillars. Shadows from the railing on the right run perpincuar to the view. In the background short scrub pines.

A black-and-white photograph capturing a beach scene taken from under a wooden pavilion or gazebo. Large wooden beams frame the foreground, while the deck has railings that cast shadows. In the center, a coin-operated binocular viewer stands facing the ocean, ready for visitors to use. The ocean stretches out in the background with gentle waves and a cloudy sky above. To the right, there is a sign that reads "WELCOME HAMMONASSET BEACH," though some text is not fully legible due to the distance and lighting.

I wasn't too impressed with the results from the Nikon FG. I blame the LED meter display in the finder. I like this one though.

This ink is super cool: Platinum Citrus Black. It’s like a color change ink that is hard to see wet and as it dries goes to a dark brown from yellow. Also looks cool in a demonstrator like this TWSBI Eco.

Got a bottle of Diamine Pumpkin ink from Atlas and this was their note in the box. Nice touch.
A post card with “brilliant choice” written on it next and a bottle of fountain pen ink.
