I had to visit an office at 960 Main Street in Hartford. Anyone who lived near this city prior to this century knows that address – it’s the G Fox building. G. Fox & Co. was the largest privately held department store in the United States in 1965, when it was sold to the May... Continue Reading →
May Potluck – #ThursdayDoors
May has been a crazy month, and although I have a lot of door pictures, I still have to fill-in some of the information about them. Therefore, today, as the title suggests is a day for leftovers. Since I’m still using the Classic editor, I can provide the information that I have about these doors... Continue Reading →
Closing February’s Door – #ThursdayDoors
So far, this winter has been bad news for doorscurrsions in New England. Between rain, snow, ice, ice, ice and cold, the barriers to leisure photography have been many. Last week, I was in Hartford for a haircut. I leave much earlier than I have to, because I want to make sure I am on... Continue Reading →
Safety in Numbers – #1LinerWeds
Being sick during the work-a-day portion of this new year, I hadn’t yet been able visit Great River Park. I wanted to stop on my way to work yesterday, but I wasn’t sure it was a good idea. We had received a small amount of snow overnight. Such an insignificant amount of snow wouldn’t normally... Continue Reading →
No Power, No Pics, No Pens
I mentioned last week that our daughter Faith and I had toured the Mark Twain House in nearby Hartford, CT. I think I said something about an event, but I know I didn’t explain what that event was. It was an opportunity to write for three hours in the library of the Mark Twain House.... Continue Reading →
Cleaning Out the Fridge – #ThursdayDoors
Since last week’s Thursday Doors post went live, I have spent five days on our little construction project and two hectic days at my day-job. I did manage to squeeze in a short doorscursion, but it turns out the doors I photographed are more interesting than I realized. Writing that up has required a little... Continue Reading →
Los Chivos de Hartford
Specifically, Los Chivos de Hartford Dia Roberto Clemente. Or, if you prefer the plain old English version, The Hartford Yard Goats Roberto Clemente Day! Faith and I attended this game Friday night. I wrote about the Yardgoats honoring Roberto Clemente, last year for #WATWB. I suppose I could have reprised that subject for Friday’s #WATWB... Continue Reading →
Point & Shoot Problems – #1LinerWeds
Four years ago, I wrote about replacing my camera because of a curved smudge appearing on almost all my photos. I had it cleaned, the smudge returned, and I replaced the camera. Less than a year later, I replaced the replacement camera because I mistakenly thought that buying the same make and model camera would... Continue Reading →
Listen, Sonny – #1LinerWeds
The title is how I wanted to start my reply to this week’s One-liner Wednesday. As you will see in a minute, I was nice. This story begins last Wednesday, on a day that I had been looking forward to for over a month. The company I work for held an employee outing at Dunkin... Continue Reading →
