First Sailboat in the Harbor

On April 25th, I headed out to Crocker Park to capture the pink moon rising over the harbor.  On the way, I had stopped to capture a beautiful cherry blossom on Mugford street (posting that one tomorrow) and I still arrived a bit early.  Though the sunset was fairly muted with the lack of interesting clouds, the novelty of a single sailboat in the harbor convinced me to grab this image.

I do like the reflected light off the houses that line Chandler Hovey Park.  Just wish the lighthouse had been lit at the time…

Marblehead Harbor Starting to Fill with Boats

Last night, I arrived home from work only to find a fog starting to roll in.  I quickly ate dinner and grabbed the camera and kids (my wife was at a staff meeting) and headed out to shoot some fog.  I’m happy to report that the venture was a great success – not only did I capture some nice shots of my kids but I took what maybe a top-10 all time photo for me…this is not that photo.

Before taking that image, we explored Chandler Hovey park and shot – I with my camera, the kids with my old […]

Day 2 – The Old House and The Sea

By Thursday, March 7th, the storm was really starting to show off its power.  I again headed out at high tide hoping to capture some of the ocean’s strength on camera.  I previously shared an image taken at Devereux Beach of a wave cresting over the causeway (LINK if you missed it).  After getting that shot, I headed over to Lovis Cove planning to shoot The Barnacle getting hit by waves.

I have captured some amazing waves hitting the Barnacle previously and was equally impressed by the ocean’s power on this day.  However, […]

Frostbite Sailing in Marblehead Harbor

My best friend from college came to visit this weekend and on Sunday we decided to head out with my kids to Crocker Park.  I hadn’t photographed my kids in weeks so I grabbed the camera thinking I would get a few nice shots of them outside.  We couldn’t ask for better conditions as the sun kept breaking through the clouds and warming us up.  The kids climbed the rocks and I tried to capture their enthusiasm.  It wasn’t long though before I noticed that frostbite sailing (or ‘frostbiting’) was taking place in the harbor.

With the harbor still fairly […]
