Who is CtCameraEye?

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!

Alan

    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

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!
Alan
