Hardly any snow has fallen thus far but it seemed appropriate to share this image today leading up to Christmas later in the week. The image was captured on February 14, 2014 while I explored Crocker Park after a pretty impressive snow storm. I trudged up the small hill from which I could capture Abbot Hall and the houses surrounding it and noted the footprints in the snow. I decided to use the steps as a (broken) leading line into the scene.

This image from atop Leggs Hill Road was captured on November 2nd during a brilliant sunset that, at this point had colored the sky a shade of purple. These young trees are seen showing their peak Fall color under the purple sky.
This image comes from an outing in mid-July and is the eighth shot I've now shared from this series. As you can see, the fog rolled into Little Harbor so that only the nearby trees could be seen with the subtle shape of a boat moored in the harbor just visible. Brown's Island is barely seen despite its close proximity.
Back to Saturday night's outing with my son for this image of golden light on Devereux Beach. This was the sight that awaited me as we pulled into the nearly empty lot at Devereux Beach on December 13. I quickly headed down to the water's edge where I set up this composition and shot as wave after wave came to shore. At this point the sun had just dipped behind the distant houses and the clouds above took on a golden glow that reflected on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Lately I've been sharing a lot more images of the sea and, with that in mind, decided to look through the 'to be posted' file in search of an image that broke the recent trend. This image was captured on a particularly magical night on State Street on December 5th, 2013. This is one of many black and white images of fog that came out of the evening's shoot throughout town. I had a tough time deciding between color and black and white for this particular image as there is a decorated tree at the bottom right that seems to disappear [...]
On Saturday evening, I picked up me son from a playdate and noted the cloud cover as we drove home. The day had brought with it a break from the dull gray skies that had covered Marblehead for what seemed like weeks and the clouds now seemed to be breaking up in time for sunset. As we approached the house, I told him we were going to take a quick detour to Devereux Beach to see if I was right about the coming sunset. I grabbed the camera bag and tripod, he grabbed a toy assault rifle and we were [...]
As the scaffolding around Abbot Hall slowly comes down, I wanted to revisit this image from September captured during a low tide that allowed me to walk up to one of the floats in the harbor.

This image comes from a trip to the top of Marblehead Light on July 2nd during the semi-annual stringing of the holiday lights. I have shared a few images from this location but hadn't yet shown this one which features the Corinthian Yacht Club with a pool filled to capacity, Marblehead Harbor with boats as far as the eye can see and, in the distance, the Boston skyline.

Summer sunsets have to be one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Heading out on a warm evening chasing after whisps of clouds and waiting for each evening's show brings a sense of anticipation that is usually well rewarded. On this evening in June, there was an explosion of color in Marblehead Harbor with the sky above moving through shades of pinks and purples that lasted for what felt like an eternity. Seemed like a nice image to turn to on this December day. Would you like to order a print of this image? Enter the information below: [contact-form-7 id="11613" title="Gallery [...]
