The Seasides

3:49pm

Icicles instead of ice cream cones at the concession stand.

8:59am

Line, form, texture.

8:43am

I call this "trees balancing on a fence."

4:11pm

I have a real soft spot for these powdery dudes. Do you guys know the animated film, The Snowman? It is excellent, but I cry every time.

My own snow globe. Photo courtesy of my fellow Arctic explorer, Luke Scott.

6:00pm

Storm Juno starting to look intergalactic and planetary.

4:55pm

Said hello to an interesting dude playing piccolo in his retro Ford. He didn't mind being documented.

Snowy spectator, a die-hard fan of winter games.

1:08pm

My parents and sister interpreting Flock of Seagulls "I Ran."

Solid barrier protecting the area from stormy seas. In case it's illegible, it says 5054 feet wall, erected 1895, Frank E. Clark Mayor.

12:35pm

Winter blues.

8:10am

Seaside as seen through the lens of Waldemere Hall. Built in 1913, this was originally the home of P.T. Barnum's granddaughter, Frances. Purchased by the University of Bridgeport in 1967, it is now used for academic offices and as the official residence of the president of the University. The first floor of the house is also used for University functions and public events.

Let freedom ring from the shimmering tides of Bridgeport, CT.

"From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing the words, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

3:22pm

Sunday, foggy Sunday. I took off my boots and socks and attempted to wade in this "puddle" to get a little closer, but my frigid bare feet quickly disagreed. This distance turned out just fine, don't you think?

11:48am

Checkmate.

5:30pm

One thing I've learned from this project is how much light rules. In both the cool and the dominating sort of way. Ha! I always get a little anxious if I don't get to the park before sunset. It's definitely challenging without the sun, but I'm working on it.

2:15pm

Beautiful ice bubble formations. Another look under Remixes.

1:50pm

Good ol' Chris Colombus looking over the Sound with map in hand. Sculpted by Clemente Spampinato in 1965.

8:15am

Shadows and reflections.

9:03am

A little piece of Americana for you guys. I always want to take it for a joy ride but alas, the front tire is flat.

2:05pm

Nature's oyster bar.

10:15 am

Snowy Seaside as seen from the top floor of the University of Bridgeport SASD building. It's my favorite UB building not only because of this amazing view, but it's also the graphic design, industrial design, and interior design headquarters, chaired by my pal and brilliant professor, Emily Larned.

8:18am

SNOW!!! I'm a total kid when it comes to the white fluffy stuff, and could have spent all day playing...err I mean taking photos at the park today. More images under Remixes!

8:38am

9 degrees will get you some chilled Long Island Sound waves! Check out some more "frozen wonders of nature" here.

8:49am

A little bit remains. More please!

7:38am

Frosty fingers while taking these frozen edges. 19 degrees. Yikes!

8:08am

Snuck into the Remington Building, which is an endless treasure trove with the best view of the Sound. Would love to get my hands on this space! I'm thinking it would make an incredible boutique hotel with adjoining restaurant, similar to Hotel Tivioli. Keep all the graffiti.

12:42pm

Fog jog.

4:45pm

Snow gradient.

11:17am

Made friends with Lucille. Annnnd now I'm definitely taking my kitty Pixel for walks on the beach, even if her dad thinks it's weird.

5:00pm

Welcome to 2015. What a legendary year it's been, and what an f'n awesome year lies ahead.
