    Experimental Friday – Through the Looking Glass at Hammond Park

Experimental Friday – Through the Looking Glass at Hammond Park

I was thrilled with the reception that my image from Hammond Park received early last week and happy to note that many longtime ‘Headers hadn’t visited the park in years but now had made plans to do so.  I hope that as a new resident of this town, I can continue to offer a fresh perspective on familiar or forgotten locations and help residents rediscover the beauty all around.

With Hammond Park on my mind and the Experimental Friday coming up, my mind turned to this image made in March 2011.  I had been exploring the park on this particular […]

A Sun Star in a Melting Icicle

On Sunday, as the snow started to melt and the sun came out, I ventured out in search of more snowy scenes to capture.  I decided to head out at high tide in hopes that the waves would still be churning from the Blizzard (now offshore).  Unfortunately, the waters were very calm and so I kept driving and ended up at Grace Oliver Beach.  As I drove down Beacon Street, I noticed that the fence was covered with melting icicles and I decided to stop and try to capture them.

Keep it Local – Mini Marblehead at the Gerry 5

miniature marblehead

On December 22nd, the Gerry 5 opened its doors and showed off the great miniaturized town of Marblehead.  I headed down with my kids as we had missed this in years past and we all gazed at the incredible work that lay before us.  There were a half dozen readily recognizable scenes of Marblehead and a train (seen in the background above) to recreate life as it was decades ago.  If you missed this next year, make sure you visit next December.  And look below for two more images […]
