It’s me, Alan Chaniewski. An international award winning photojournalist/writer/presenter/educator for the past 32 years, give or take a few years off for bad behavior (finding work other than being a photographer).
After working at the Hartford Courant for about 14 years I have incurred a major change in my employment at the start of this year. FOX 61 Television has melded itself with the Hartford Courant. Now all of us are working in the same newsroom (now one big televsion studio).
My new position is with FOX 61 as a videographer/trainer. Going out with a reporter almost everyday working on news stories, and helping videographers and still photographers utilize each of their talents to their best ability for three platforms. Television, print, and the web. A challenging position to say the least.
On occasion, I manage to dust off my still camera and fire off a few photos about my favorite subjects and hobbies. That’s what this blog is all about. Making a showcase for my videos and pictures, with a short story behind them.
Feel free to stop by often and take a look. Leave me a comment or two. I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for looking and remember, I have my “CtCameraEye” on you!

Yo Chanu ….. Cool site!!!
Hi Alan, Great site! I use to see you at just about every fire I took in during the early 90s in New Britain. I’m sure your in some of my photo’s. I mostly video taped fires back then but nothing close to professional. I still take in a fire every now and then with my DSLR camera. ( I don’t run out the door in the middle of the night like I use to do.)
I just wanted to say Hi. I hope your alright after the incident.
Take Care!
