Wednesdays in Marblehead - An Exploration of the Beauty of Marblehead, MA
PhotosWelcome to Wednesdays in Marblehead
In August 2010, I decided to focus my landscape photography within the confines of the town of Marblehead, MA. This seaside town that has been my home since 2008 offered a wealth of photographic opportunities in an area of just four and a half square miles. I began with the landmarks, moved on to lesser known spots and, through this project, have learned an incredible amount about my new home town.
A New England town on the North Shore of Massachusetts which was founded in 1629, Marblehead really does have it all. There are 300 year old houses and buildings. The Atlantic ocean, two harbors, and multiple ponds. There are beaches both sandy and rocky. Beautiful historic homes and buildings representing architectural styles that span the history of this nation. Cemeteries where some of the men and women that helped shape this country lay buried. Piers both private and public, playgrounds and more. I have tried to capture these scenes with a breadth of photographic techniques including long-exposure, black and white, high-dynamic range and night scenes.

Firing the Cannon at Sunset over Marblehead Harbor
On Tuesday night, I headed out after putting the kids to bed in hopes of capturing another good sunset. While the clouds and approaching storms should have combined to put on a strong show, the light never really materialized. I had driven to Chandler Hovey again but didn’t make […]
Marblehead Harbor Under a Dramatic Sky at Sunset
As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I had been feeling the urge to go out and shoot a landscape image on Saturday when I looked out the window and saw these great clouds forming at 7pm. With the taciturn approval of my wife, I grabbed my gear and ran […]

I work from home and I am always delighted when a new photo shows up in my email. I feel somehow transported beyond the walls of my office, land-locked state, and the daily dictates of business. The pictures evoke for me the same sentiments as Norman Rockwell but in an updated, fresh, and expansive version. The touch my heart, they touch my soul, they ease my mind, and transport me, if only for a moment, to a place of beauty,clarity, meaning and purpose. Please keep on. They bring joy to my life.Colleen Leeson
This is a beautiful photo. One of my favorites that I have seen of yours. Had to order a print! Thanks for sharing it today.Susan Calhoun
Love these pictures! I am housebound at age 80; born and raised here and can no longer get out during storms as I had the past 78 years. Keep up the good work. Down Bucket!Karin Martin
I grew up in Danvers, MA, but my grandparents, and their parents before them, were ‘Headers” . I am a descendant of the Homan family of Marblehead. Though I have lived in Vermont for the past seventeen years, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains, and the peace that country life offers. Your photographs have elicited in me a strong pull to go back home, a strong pull to go back to the ocean. These photographs are stunning, and I look forward to seeing more of your work, as time goes by. Thank you for the memories.Julie Robtoy

Marblehead is so lucky to be seen through your eyes. Your passion for the place is wonderful, and this pic is gorgeous…Sarah Durkee
I have to tell you , your work has inspired me so much, I am just getting back into photography and I am trying to focus on the type of shots you take (which are breathtaking BTW) i have been so effected by your work that my wife and I are planing and extended trip to the cape (we have family there) just so I can make trips to many of the beautiful places you photograph!. In regards to this photo in your description you say you took many shots in a series, is this final image a compilation of several shots that you put together in photoshop? or just the best shot out of all the ones you took during that session? Sorry if my questions are intrusive I just really want to learn. ThanksFrank Mocerino Jr
Eyal, thanks for such an amazing image to start my day and to reaffirm one of the items on my 2012 List: to savor the view from Castle Rock in all 4 seasons!Jennifer Jones
Beautiful, just beautiful. You have an amazing eye for catching things we see every day and take so much for granted. Marblehead IS beautiful and we’re all in such a hurry to get where we’re going that we miss that every day. Thank you.Kat Knight
Wonderful way to start the new year watching this. What a beautiful town we live in! Thanks so much for sharing this, great way to show those we love from away how special Marblehead truly is! I grew up here and after years away am back to stay!Nancy
