Chester, Connecticut, has a quaint village center with shops and restaurants. A while ago someone came up with a bumper sticker that said, "Chester, CT: We Know Where It Is." It's been a while since I saw one of those. I spent a sunny winter afternoon prowling the (two) streets of the village. Check below for what I saw through the shop windows..

It's fiddle time! I am not positive who this couple were. I think the man with the fiddle is Samuel Edward Huggins, the brother of my great-grandfather John W. Huggins (based on other photos I have of Samuel) , but I have yet to find any info to suggest Samuel played the fiddle. The photos on the mantle piece, what I can see of them, don't match other photos I have seen of Samuel's kin. He does look a lot like Samuel, though. I wonder what he's playing, especially if it is an old Irish tune that he might have heard from his father John Huggins who emigrated to the USA from County Monaghan (near Ballybay), in Ulster, Ireland, around 1832-1835, with his new bride, Nancy Williamson Huggins. Samuel's wife was Elizabeth Foster, who was born in Ulster, Ireland. (Photo album of Clara Huggins; photo dated as from May 1900).
My Dad, was born in 1920, the second and youngest son of a East Texas tenant farmer. His family always lived on and worked someone elses land. In his teenage years his older brother saved enough money to order a guitar from Sears. He was able to save enough for a Sears fiddle. During his high school years he played in a high school country band. I grew up hearing him and his friends play in the homes and on the porches of our friends after we enjoyed a freezer of ice cream. This fiddle has special memories for me.

Fiddle-de-dum.
This image was shot from a Zenza Bronica S2 Medium Format camera with a Nikkor-H 1:2.8 f=7.5cm lens using Fujicolor Reala 100 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Photoshop has worked wonders on these! It was a very dull day. It had been raining and the sky was completely overcast with very flat light.
I've always wanted to come here and photograph Bow Fiddle though and it's more impressive in person that I expected. I'd like to have another go with a more interesting sky.

The Stroll Through Magnolia is pretty much like a preview of the Texas Renaissance Festival which starts in the very near future. It was a pleasant evening, we dodged some impressive thunderstorms, and had a chance to shoot some old favorites and new people. We are so looking forward to the start of the TRF!
I took these photos on 28 September 2013 along the Magnolia Stroll.

I was shooting a wedding this weekend and here and there you'll look a bit away from bride and groom and catch those little magic moments. For the professionals, I wont do this again anytime soon again.

A landmark of Sydney, Nova Scotia, the Big Fiddle welcomes visitors at the cruise ship terminal.
#10 This photo was taken with my new Cactus flash trigger. The only light was from the flash (Vivitar 285 set to 1/16). The lens was a 35mm ziess distagon wide open. The DOF is a hair deep.

You always take a bit of a chance when you go to see Ashley MacIsaac. But last night playing at the East Coast Music festivities in Halifax he did not disappoint. He was simply brilliant. [ashleymacisaac.com/]
