Capturing the Sunset and Boston Skyline

At the end of November, I left the house before sunset in hopes of capturing some nice evening light. In the hour of shooting, I would come away with eight images to share. And yet, this is the first one I have posted to the site. I started off capturing some great pink/purple clouds over the harbor and then crossed the causeway as the sun was setting to see if the light might be right for an image from the small (unnamed) park and bench at the start of Marblehead Neck. Before I made it to the park though, I [...]

Brown’s Island Covered in Snow

Still in the archives but moving a bit closer to the present day with this image from January 3rd, 2014. I had gone out at high tide after the Nor'easter / Blizzard swept through. After capturing the impressive power of the waves crashing against the causeway and at Devereux Beach, I made my way out to Little Harbor and stopped along Beacon Street where I was awed by the level of the water at high tide. You can see the ledge and ladder on the left of the image and, if you have seen it during normal tides, might appreciate [...]

Passing Boats in Marblehead Harbor

Last week's exercise of bringing out photos that were in the archive was so much fun, I thought I would do the same for this week. This image was captured on September 19, 2013 as I waited for the Harvest Moon to rise over Marblehead harbor. I had happened upon a singular opportunity to photograph the rising moon from atop a house overlooking the harbor and wasted no time in capturing images as soon as I climbed up to the roof and saw this view laid out before me. The harbor had been relatively still (though full) when I first [...]

Lone Sailboat in the Ocean

This image seemed like a nice way to end the week. I took this shot on July 16, 2013 while out with a friend on a cruise in the waters around Marblehead. The way the sun light hit this lone sailboat in the ocean and reflected off its sails instantly captured my attention. The great texture in the calm waters hit me next and I decided to go with a vertical orientation for the image to highlight both. Enjoy the weekend.

Last Night’s Sunset – Devereux Beach, Marblehead, MA

I had another post in mind for today but then this happened and I just couldn't wait to share it. Yesterday was a good day. It began with having the cast taken off my left foot where I had broken a small bone back on December 7. The feeling of having that weight lifted (literally) was tempered as soon as I stepped on the foot and realized I now had a long way to go in getting up to speed with walking. As it happened, I had a physical therapy appointment at the JCC a few hours later that went [...]

Marblehead Skyline – A Perfect Morning

On December 17, I headed out of the house before dawn in hopes of capturing the moon setting over the Marblehead skyline. I had missed the chance to photograph the moonrise the night before and was excited about the prediction of clear skies and cold temperatures for the next morning. There was a small chance for sea smoke inside Marblehead Harbor and I could only imagine what that might look like with familiar buildings above a layer of sea smoke with the moon setting above. Sadly, the temperatures weren't cold enough for sea smoke. I did however manage to capture [...]

Marblehead Lighthouse in Black and White

I have a LOT of image of Marblehead Lighthouse. This lighthouse has been an element in more than 100 images shared on this site and seems to be either loved or hated by those who gaze upon it. The lighthouse definitely has a unique shape and many disparage it for not fitting with other New England lighthouses. Personally, I've grown to love its uniqueness and the lines formed by its steel frame. As I was going through my archive of images waiting to be posted to the site, I found this image taken on June 3, 2012. I remember chasing [...]

A Late Summer Day on Marblehead Harbor

I don't know about you but this Winter is getting old quick. Between the snow, blizzard conditions and days on end that stayed below the freezing mark, this has the feel of a very long Winter...and it's only mid-January. The mini 'warm up' these past two days has only left me thinking of Summer even more. I decided to look back in the archives for some warm images and wanted to share this one today. First, the specifics - this image was taken on August 16 at 7:25pm. I can't imaging light at 7:30pm but I can definitely feel the [...]

Through the Grates at The Landing

A fun shot to end the week and another from a photo shoot during high tide on Friday, January 3rd after a storm departed Marblehead. When I arrived at The Landing, I was shocked at how high the water in Marblehead Harbor had risen. The boats looked like they might have floated onto the small parking lot if not tethered to their moorings. I made my way over to where the lobster boats are loaded and unloaded and was equally surprised to see ocean water coming up through the grates with the occasional waves in the harbor. I set up [...]

Pickup Hockey Game at Redd’s Pond

Is there a more classic New England scene than a pickup hockey game on a frozen pond? And if that happens to be Redd's Pond with a beautiful house abutting it and great light and clouds are around...timeless. I captured this image on New Year's Day and shared an iPhone version on my Facebook page shortly after. While that image was well received, I decided to go with a black and white version of a different shot from the 'real' camera to share today. The action in this one was just about perfect with kids heading off to chase the [...]
