Wedding Pictures

 

On the weekend, Elizabeth Park is full of brides, grooms, wedding parties and guests.

Some Recent People

My friend Tom is a fifth grade science teacher.  He is worried about being exposed to covid-19 

when school re-opens but he is not emotionally ready to retire.

A young man was taking photos of Tnasia In the Elizabeth Park rock garden.  I offered to photograph the two of them together.  He declined and told me to photograph Tnasia.  So, I did.
The lighting and position weren't the best.  Sometimes you just work with what you are given.

Jill's tattooed arm filled with macarons caught my eye at Lavender Pond Farm.
She is a pastry chef in Boston.  

Chris is a photographer and videographer active on Instagram as @faceyshotit.

The NASA jacket is just a jacket.  No special meaning.

Chris was in Elizabeth Park photographing Brittney, a fellow Instagrammer (@bryttne_xoxo) with 253,000 followers.  Gasp!  Brittney just moved to Colorado to pursue a masters in 

biomedical science on her way to realizing her dream of becoming a doctor.

Gerald is a lawyer specializing in workers compensation.

I took all portraits while masked and using a long telephoto lens, 

so I was further away than might seem from the images.

Girls Can Do Anything

Except smile when Grandpa takes pictures.

WiFi is Back

Nine days without the internet or cable or TV.  Storm Isaias clobbered West Hartford. 

People went for walks, talked to neighbors, read books. 

What else can you do when modern life is disrupted?  

Some even learned how to do blog posts from their cell phones.

A Pandemic Parable

No office workers.  No college students.  No residents.

No business.  Good-bye.

Near the Hartford Golf Club

The part of West Hartford south of the Hartford Golf Club has some big and

elegant homes built in the period from 1910 to 1940.

This house has always been a favorite, but every other time I have gone past with my camera, 

there have been trucks or cars or construction marring the scene.

Tudor is a popular choice in this neighborhood.
