It’s me, Alan Chaniewski. An international award winning photojournalist/writer/presenter/educator for the past 32 years, give or take a few years off for bad behavior (finding work other than being a photographer).
After working at the Hartford Courant for about 16 years I have incurred a major change in my employment.
My new position is with FOX 61 as a photojournalist. Going out everyday covering Connecticut, working on news stories, and publishing real time pictures to social media.
On occasion, I manage to dust off my still camera and fire off a few photos about my favorite subjects and hobbies. This new website will be a showcase for my videos and pictures, with short stories behind them.
Feel free to stop by often and take a look. Leave me a comment or two. I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for looking and remember, I have my “CtCameraEye” on you!

Yo Chanu ….. Cool site!!!
Hi Alan, Great site! I use to see you at just about every fire I took in during the early 90s in New Britain. I’m sure your in some of my photo’s. I mostly video taped fires back then but nothing close to professional. I still take in a fire every now and then with my DSLR camera. ( I don’t run out the door in the middle of the night like I use to do.)
I just wanted to say Hi. I hope your alright after the incident.
Take Care!

Hey Alan great shots! You held an awesome workshop yesterday, it was very informative. Even though it may not have been hands on, I still learned quite a bit.
Thanks again
Great photos, you captured the story. Impressive work!
I’ve always had an eye for the unusual. My photos show that. Two years ago I volunteered as videographer of the Ct Tea Party movement. My you tube videos document the history of the movement.
But my first love has always been the weather, water and landscapes. My camera has become an apendage as useful as a third arm.
Speedo…
Just returned from Maine for relative’s celebration….LOVE the new site! Kudos…will be in touch soon…knee is finally getting there! Love to you and the Goddess!!!
