Comstock Bridge renovation almost complete

January 28, 2012 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

The historic Comstock Bridge in East Hampton, Connecticut renovation is almost complete. Closed in January of 2010 for a total makeover, this 95 foot covered bridge originally built in 1873 is now open to the public and walkable to cross the river. I was there this afternoon, as a steady flow of Comstock Bridge "watchers" commented on how nice of a job was done even … [Read more...]

Northeast Aurora hides again

January 24, 2012 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Even if the prediction for a aurora is good in your area it is up to the weather gods to help you out. Tonight all the stars were coming together. A solar storm was in progress. The best one in years. The moon had set by 7:00pm. Packed up the car with all the photo equipment, and found my perfect northern horizon to shoot at. All was great...except the clouds rolled … [Read more...]

January 18, 2012 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

First ice crystals of 2012

January 15, 2012 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

The temperature finally dropped enough to form some nice ice crystals on my garage windows. Here is what I harvested at 13 degrees! I love shooting ice crystals. The possibilities are infinate! Here another image, but I thought I would invert it for a little change.   Go here to see what I shot last year https://ctcameraeye.com/?p=3457  or here   … [Read more...]

These “Eyes” are always watching Pope Park

January 10, 2012 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

I have always felt someone was watching me as I drove through Pope Park in Hartford, Connecticut. Now, CtCameraEye has the proof that a number of eyes have had the "Eye" on me! Thanks to Real Art Ways, Pope Park has 77 trees with cartoon faces to watch what is going on. Commissioned in 2009 Matthew Rodriguez, a native of Austin, Texas had the unique experience to paint … [Read more...]

Welcome

You have found the new CtCameraEye website. Updated from my old blog site that I had for over six years. A lot has changed over that time, and the new site here will show you many of the new places where I have been and what I have accomplished. A better blog site to keep in touch with you all, and finally, a new project that I have been working on for the past year which I will be announcing in the next few months. Stay tuned a lot of neat stuff will be happening!
