One of the images above is a digital image, converted to black and white using the program Silver Efex Pro with a preset that is supposed to emulate Ilford Delta 400.  I'm sure trained eyes can spot the digital image.  Care to make a choice?

Jonathan Edwards Winery

North Stonington, CT

Followers of this blog know of my fondness of Jonathan Edwards wines and their winery in North Stonington.  I've featured many pictures from the vineyards here in this blog.  I always thought the tasting room/barreling/bottling building, which used to be a dairy barn, would make a great photo rendered in black and white.

Joseph Cinque

New London, CT  2015

Joseph Cinque led the slave uprising aboard the schooner La Amistad  in 1839, which was documented in the movie Amistad made by Steve Spielberg.  After the slave uprising, the ship was discovered and taken into custody in the waters off of eastern Long Island.  The ship was brought to New London and was berthed behind the Custom House.  The slaves were tried in New Haven and after appeals all the way to the Supreme Court were freed and returned to Africa.  This relief of Joseph Cinque graces the entrance to the Custom House, now a maritime museum.

Connecticut Savings Bank

New Haven, CT  2014

At one time this building housed the Connecticut Savings Bank.  One can barely make out the name above the columns.  I'm not sure what became of the bank but I'm glad the building remains.

Dave and Busters

This one recently opened in Manchester.  The restaurant chain caters to young adults and families offering food, drinks and a number of arcade style games  of "skill" for kids of all ages.  Has anyone ever played Skee Ball?

I debated a long time on whether or not to post this image.  I know it has some technical flaws,  but for some reason, I still like it.

Morning Coffee

Portland, ME 2014

A morning ritual for many of us, although not everyone enjoys their morning coffee at Starbucks.  Every now and then I'll indulge, but most of the time I brew my own morning coffee.
