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 it out of the car before turning back. On the way back, I turned down Foster Street to see what the view was like. As I got out of the car, I noticed someone sitting by the cannon and realized I had made it in time to witness the great […]
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 out of the house.

With that feeling of a need to go out again, I looked out my bedroom window at 7pm and noted some nice clouds and light forming. I ‘convinced’ the kids to watch just a bit of TV til I got home and got a knowing nod from my wife […]
