South Boston Naval Annex Building 16 – On Film!
It should come as no surprise that amongst the many trips to the building I took and all the photography I did there, I took some time to shoot film as well. These are shot on Fuji Neopan 1600 and Fuji Pro 160s.

South Boston Naval Annex Building 16 – Night Shots and Exploring Stories
One of the wonderful things about Building 16 was that the area was ABSOLUTELY CRAWLING WITH POLICE. State police, Boston Police, MBTA police, and various other security and law enforcement agencies all seemed to have some role in monitoring activity on the pier. On the other hand, Building 16 was a completely empty abandoned warehouse…

Cape Cod 2021
Here are the photos from my 2021 trip to Cape Cod. This was my first major excursion with my new Canon R5. I own the RF 24-70 f/2.8 and rented the 15-35 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8. Was very impressed with both of the rental lenses, but will probably only wind up getting the zoom. I…

Packard Plant – Trip 5
Several of these pictures were never published on my old site, so I figured I might as well make this a new post that is not back dated to a time close to where the pictures were originally posted. Packard Plant Trip 4 produced some fairly unremarkable night shots before we retired to The Pyramid…

Getting all of the material online is something I really want to accomplish, but don’t make enough time to work on. For the most part, I backdate my posts…

Most of the ships the yard worked on were Navy ships. My father actually worked here for a time doing some engineering work, so…

Buffalo State Hospital – May 5, 2013 – Set 2
During our first visit to Buffalo State we got very lucky. Naturally, after the tour ended I was asking about getting more time to photograph (which I would be more than happy to pay for), etc. Christine, the absolutely fantastic person in charge of operations at the Richardson Olmsted Complex indicated that I would really…
