The Magnolia Tree at Our Lady Star of the Sea

The Magnolia Tree at Our Lady Star of the Sea

Wednesday, April 24th ended up being quite a busy day for me with multiple stops during which I tried to capture the first signs of Spring. There’s nothing like those first few days in which the trees start to blossom and the feel of a long, cold Winter begins to fade.

On this particular day, I had started off shooting my favorite tree in town on Washington Street and then continue around town looking for more trees in full bloom. This particular tree intrigued me as it seemed at just the right position from which I could also capture the […]

Gravestones and Cherry Blossoms at Harris Street Cemetery

Couldn’t resist bringing out another image from my trip to the Harris Street Cemetery which I found in peak bloom at the end of April. On this particular evening, I had gone to the cemetery in hopes of getting a shot of the almost full pink moon rising against the foreground of cherry blossoms.

Before the moon could rise, I had to wait for the sun to set and, as it did, it lit up the cherry blossoms and surroundings in a great evening light. I took a few shots around the cemetery but this one was a favorite. I […]

I started off photographing the cherry blossom tree from across the street as the sun dipped and cast long shadows on the grassy lawn. With the permission of one of the residents of the house, I then went about checking different compositions and settled on one other image (seen […]

Tulips Rising Before St. Stephen’s Church

Tulips Rising Before St. Stephen’s Church

Earlier this week, I put up a number of framed, canvas and metal prints at the Starbucks where they will remain for the month and where I will be during the Marblehead Art Walk on Saturday from 1-4pm. On my way home, I drove by the median where Lafayette and Humphrey merge into Pleasant Street and noticed the tulips had blossomed. As I drove by, I also saw that there was a nice composition to be had by shooting the tulips with St. Stephen’s Church as the backdrop and decided to return later in the week.

On Tuesday, the sun […]
