Is it safe to post photos of snow yet? I know I’m tired of seeing the white stuff but have to admit it can make for some incredible photo opportunities. In late December, we had a particular good sized storm. The day after, the sun came up behind a bank of clouds and produced great diffused light. This was just what I had needed for this particular image and I head out to Tedesco Country Club to see if I could capture what I had visualized. As I made my way on the greens, I noted the sand trap was […]
Snow Capped Houses and Abbot Hall
Back to the Blizzard of 2013 for this image of Abbot Hall taken from Crocker Park. I love this view of Abbot Hall and have shot from this spot on a number of occasions and in various conditions. When I was trudging through the almost two feet of snow that fell during the Blizzard of 2013, I knew that I would have to make it over to Crocker Park for a snowy version of this composition. While the walk was brutal at times, the view did not disappoint with snow capped houses seemingly stacked on each other and leading […]
Old Town House After the Blizzard
Though snow was due to fall in Marblehead this weekend, I was away at a conference and thus could not photography the aftermath (or help shovel out our driveway).

The roads were mostly cleared and I looked for ways to […]
State Street After the Blizzard
Hope you aren’t tiring of images of snow because I have a lot more to post. This one comes from the evening that the Blizzard of 2013 ended. The driving ban had been lifted at 4 and I made my way to Washington Street and then State Street to try to capture the aftermath. Though I have photographed State Street a number of times, I have never found a good composition for these two houses that stand near Front Street and the harbor beyond. On this day, as I turned up Front Street and looked up State, the composition […]
