Purple Dawn Over an Empty Harbor

Last week, I shared images of turquoise waters all taken on the prior Wednesday in Marblehead.  I thought I would start this week in a similar way with this image taken last Wednesday at dawn.

I had woken at 5:30am on this particular morning and promptly looked out the window and at the weather radar to try to discern if there were any clouds near the horizon.  I couldn’t tell and decided to bundle up (it was in the 20′s on this early April morning) and head out in hopes of decent clouds and light.  Without much to go on […]

I shared the story of how I came to photograph this view from a home on Ocean Avenue previously but have a few favorites from this dawn photoshoot so thought I would share another today.  Click here to read the backstory – LINK

A few weeks ago, I received a request to purchase a matted print of my Walk in the Fog image (you can see it in the Best of 2011 gallery by using the menu above).  At the time, I was also asked about being commissioned for a special photo shoot.  When I delivered the print at the house on Ocean Avenue, I surreptitiously scouted the location knowing that I […]

Cold Dawn over Marblehead Neck

cold dawn light

Yesterday, January 23rd, was slated to be our first near-zero degree day in a while.  With the recent moderate weather and ocean temps in the 40′s, I figured I had a good shot at capturing some sea smoke.  With that in mind, I woke up early on Wednesday and drove to a few spots.  Unfortunately, Redd’s Pond and Little Harbor didn’t have anything in the way of smoke.  I crossed my fingers and made my way to Front Street hoping for better luck.  For whatever reason, the water […]
