Juxtaposing Old And New

Vintage Trucks in Transport, with Solar Panels in the Background

Stay Tuned!  We're going to bring you more great radio interviews, more awesome front porch interviews, maybe even a comedy skit or two.

We're only getting started here in describing and showing what a fun an interesting place New Haven can be.  If you're a local business or nonprofit and you think you could use more attention, let us know and we will allocate a talented local film crew for your venue so the community can get to know what you do.  If it's fun and interesting, it belongs on Nhv.Org.

Pictures From Today.

 

Want to see some photographs from today?  Here's a whole bunch (but not too many).

The theme for this set, aside from naturally it being a beautiful spring day in mid-May, happens to be "peculiar vehicles."

There are several peculiar vehicles in this set.  You can comment below with your responses by taking guesses at what the machinery does.

Good luck and have fun.

Post a Photo To The Site.

You can put a photo on this website with great ease, using Twitter.  Here is how:

If you tweet anything with the hash tag "#Nhv" your image should appear in the column to the left, in chronological order to when it was posted, compared to everything else.

Only editors and people with posting permissions can upload photos to "the wall."  You can get access by proving that you are a good writer who understands facts and information well.

Also want to mention that Greenwell at 44 Crown is actually Greenwell Coffee & Tea.
And the tea is also quite good.

3 Great Instagrams

Isn't the instagram instigative?  Instant Internet.


These three pictures were taken this weekend and  later were posted publicly to Instagram.Com with the tag "#Nhv" and here they are.  Enjoy?  Here's who to follow:

• Instagram user "Kidanalog" (Knights of Columbus building)
• Instagram user "BruceDit"   (Bank picture)
• Instagram "MimoCT"          (Art school)

You can also search Instagram for the hash tag "#nhv" to find more great photos by these interesting people.  Do  you take great Insta's of New Haven?  You know that they will appear to the left in the Twitter column if you use the #nhv Hashtag.

Photographers Welcome!

Attention Photographers.  Here's a great new way to share your photos.

• Post a photo to the website
• Write a photojournalistic essay
• Enter your photos to the New Haven Museum database for historical preservation
• Make a Desktop Background Archive for sharing purposes
• Monetize your photos for local sales

That's a bunch of options.  

You can even add captions.

Picture this.  If you take photos all the time, and some of them are meant for just you or your family, don't share them on Nhv.Org!  But if you take a picture where the light is hitting a building perfectly, and then you have 4 or 5 of these, why not make a collection and share them with everyone?

Not everyone makes a quadrillion bucks selling photographs for a living.  Many of us now in the 21st century can take a high-resolution photograph with the same device we take our phone calls.  That's pretty spectacular.  And so I'm asking, what are we to do with all this freedom?

I say share it.  Forget about making a buck off it.  Because maybe someone will see that photo, and feel kind of good about seeing it, and want others to see it.  Isn't it worth other people's happiness?  Would you deprive the world of the happiness of seeing a wonderful photo, just because you're not going to make a buck?

The world could be more valuable, if we learn how to share in the positive experiences.  Maybe we can make the world a better place.  Certainly there are many ways to try.  Here are a few.
