Walking Down The Memory Lane
by Kinan Faham on Jul.06, 2010, under Hiking, Parks, Walking, meetup, photography
This was a hike(or walk in the woods) with the Hartford Area Hiking Meetup group. The trail we took is called "Indian Council Caves Trail" and is located in Barkhamsted, CT. It got its name because of its glacier boulders(towards the end of the video clip) with cave-like pockets. Many native american artifacts have been found around the area but it is debated if it was used for council meetings. Most of the pictures show the typical New England Summer where green is the color of the day.

This was a lunch with my colleagues in the Back Porch which is on Ferry Road, Old Saybrook CT. The occasion was the Employee Appreciation Day.
Mistified
by Kinan Faham on Jun.29, 2010, under photography
This is a collection that was taken around 6 AM last Saturday in Essex, CT just before heading to the city for a day full of photo-shooting. The sun had just woken up and was covered by a thick cover of mist and fog adding a mystifying layer to the scene. Connecticut river is at the end of the road on which I stood but is covered as well.
Solstice Week
by Kinan Faham on Jun.24, 2010, under photography
The best time of the year is now: When light defeats darkness and days become more prominent than nights. This collection was taken in two places: Coney Island, Brooklyn NY during their annual and famous Mermaid Parade and in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

Tik Tok….Mr.Timer is on the block
by Kinan Faham on May.28, 2010, under photography
Mr.Timer, a well behaved Basset Hound, decided to drop in for a visit to our office today. This wasn’t the first time this Hush Puppy visits us but it was probably his first posing adventure in front of a camera!
In many of the shots, you will see Mr.Timer relaxing(does it a lot), holding his hands together and slightly turning his face away from the camera as if posing with class and style(I can hear him say: “Get over with it and quickly please!”).
However, Mr. Timer has a high reach when he smells a treat.
The Clouds Summit(s)
by Kinan Faham on May.06, 2010, under Nature, Storms, photography
Another week & another attempt at capturing the mundane & then trying to make it look more intriguing. The majority of the pictures in this album took place either as I was heading to work in the early AM or late in the day as I rushed out unleashing the shutter as fleets of clouds had their daily summit(s).
Luney, April edition
by Kinan Faham on Apr.29, 2010, under Walking, photography
It is April’s full moon. It awakens the luney lying underneath one’s skin and unleashes the shutterbug.
The photos in this post were taken in Old Saybrook’s causeway(Bridge street) a little before midnight yesterday. You’ll also see a few pictures taken in the AM hours around Ferry Road while some maintenance crews were cleaning up the docks of “Between the Bridges” marina.

A few photos around different parts of Old Saybrook before and after a fast paced thunder storm rushed through the area.

The Silent Camera
Always fascinated by the odds of the world we live in, I keep my camera at close range all the time just to capture anything my eyes see and like.
This blog will document journeys to places unknown(to this fella at least) and show you around through his eyes.
My long term goal is to visit all of the 392 national parks in the United States and hopefully many more interesting places.I hope you like how I see our world.
Feel free to send me your shouts & murmurs either by leaving a comment or through the contact page.
Ciao!
