Georgie Living is the retail home for Georgina Ryan, an interior designer, and offers ‘casual elegance with award winning design and personal attention’. On this particular morning, I was exploring Washington Street’s stores before daylight savings and the end of the parking ban colluded to keep me from shooting these beautiful empty streets. I tried a few angles to get in the building that houses Georgie Living and Scuppers next door but wasn’t happy with any of the compositions. When I got closer and noticed how neatly Old Town House and Abbot Hall lined up in the background, I knew I had the image I was looking for.
Make sure you Keep it Local this weekend and what better way than at the Marblehead Arts Association’s Hooper Mansion where I have an individual exhibit aptly titled ‘Wednesdays in Marblehead’. Opening reception is Sunday, March 11th from 2-4pm. I look forward to seeing you there!
Lighting up Old Town House

Old Town House was decorated with lights on its front and back entrances so I decided to head down and try to photograph the festive scene. With the sun setting at 4pm, however, I had a hard time getting a shot in as the light faded and cars zoomed by. I decided to make the most of the situation and lengthened the exposure time to capture the cars zooming around Old Town House. The headlights serve as a nice accent to the already picturesque scene.
Rooftop Thursdays will return next week. Just wanted to keep the holiday light them going a bit longer…
From the Rooftops – Old Town House

In the middle of September, I visited Old Town House and the GAR museum. It was a particularly warm day and they had the back door opened to bring in what breeze might come. I asked if I could peak out the back and found this scene before me. It was almost noon yet the sun was at a bit of an angle allowing for the great shadow and reflect light off the windows. This vantage point offers a great view of The Bus Stop and its next door neighbor (which is further reflected in the near window). These moments of finding an unexpected view are what make this project so much fun.
If you or anyone you know has a widow walk or rooftop deck and is willing to have me shoot it, please contact me using the form below. Anyone who opens their homes for this project will receive a free high-resolution watermark-free digital download of the image(s) from their roof to use as they wish.
Old Town House Draped in Falls Best
I had my eye on this tree for weeks and kept waiting for it to finally reveal its full color. It cooperated very well by doing so on the first Wednesday in November. I tried to set up for this shot but had a car parked directly in front that obstructed my view. Just as I was about to give up, the car took off and I managed to snap this image during a short break in traffic. Enjoy another scene of Fall as the weather holds out against the coming Winter for at least a bit longer.
