Frozen Reflection at Redd’s Pond

It seems like forever since the ice at Redd's Pond has been visible, let alone skate-able. Before all of this snow, we actually had perfect conditions for ice formation and I took my kids to skate on Redd's Pond on several occasions. This image comes from New Years Day when I returned to Redd's Pond to find it empty near sunset with great light reflecting off the red house named Pond View and Old Burial Hill. The ice acted as a mirror to perfectly reflect the house, light and clouds with the setting moon just visible. The seams in the ice added [...]

Buried in Snow at Old Burial Hill

Another image from my outing on Wednesday, February 25. After exploring Brown's Island, Ben and I headed over to Redd's Pond and then walked across the snow covered frozen water to Old Burial Hill. I captured a few images of gravestones buried in snow before reaching the gazebo and taking in this view. You'll have to pardon the pun but I'm sure everyone in Marblehead feels as though we have been buried in snow and here, at Old Burial Hill, that has literally become the case.

A Study in Pink at Crocker Park

I've shared a few images from the incredible sunset that took place on February 10th though all of those were of Abbot Hall and the houses surrounding it. From my vantage point atop a large piece of granite at Crocker Park, I was able to turn around and shoot toward Marblehead Harbor as the sun set. At this point, the light had reached its peak opposite the setting sun (the show was only getting started in the other direction). I decided on a wide view and used the nearby tree to frame the composition together with the deep blanket of [...]

A Bright Day Ahead at Brown’s Island

On Wednesday, February 25th, I met up with a photographer from Maine whose work I greatly admire and showed him around the Town of Marblehead. The sky was a boring (but welcome) bright blue and the tide was low so I decided to walk across Little Harbor to Brown's Island. We captured a few photos of the pancake ice that lined Brown's Island and then trudged through the deep virgin snow to this vantage point. I decided to compose this image to include both Marblehead Light as well as Children's Island. The sun was high overhead and I caught the [...]

Jophiel Asking for a Blessing – A Sculpture in Snow

There's no question that this Winter has been an incredible and soon an historic one with record amounts of snow and long durations of freezing temperatures. I've tried to capture some of the beauty that comes with the cold and snow and, when I first learned that a local artist had produced a sculpture in snow of an angel, I hurried to photograph it. Unfortunately I was too late (mother nature had destroyed her) but, for good or bad, more snow and continued cold meant that Jonathan Sherman had an opportunity to work on an even bigger piece. Starting with [...]

On Frozen Harbor

On Wednesday, February 18, I headed down to Marblehead Harbor to capture images of it frozen over after a near-record 15 days of below freezing temperatures. What struck me most were the intricate textures and designs that had formed in the ice. I've shared some images from this outing but, in this one, I decided to use a vertical composition and processed it in black and white to help highlight the textures and patterns in the frozen harbor.

Historic Downtown from the Rooftops of Abbot Hall

Can you believe this image of historic downtown from atop Abbot Hall was taken in early December? I can only imagine the view now with snow as far as the eye can see. I continue to feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to capture our town from this unique vantage point atop the scaffolding that encircled Abbot Hall during its much needed renovations. This view of historic downtown from atop Abbot Hall features the Jeremiah Lee Mansion, St. Michael's, Grace Community and Old North Church as well as a number of stores along Washington Street.

Fried Dough at the Carnival

How about a break from the snow and cold for a look ahead at one of my favorite events during Spring in Marblehead - the Annual Devereux Beach Carnival! Last year offered incredible conditions for shooting the carnival with dense fog and rain leaving puddles throughout the grounds. The carnival was nearly empty on this night and I went about capturing some of my favorite images of the carnival in the fog at night. I haven't shared this one yet but it was one of my favorites from the night. The neon glow of the Fried Dough sign shining brightly [...]
