Firing the Cannon at Sunset from the Corinthian Yacht Club

Last week I shared an image of the cannon being fired at sunset from a yacht club. That image came about by chance as I happened to end up at that spot during a fairly lackluster sunset and got the idea to focus on the cannon fire. Click here to see that image and read a bit more about this tradition in Marblehead: Cannon at Sunset After that incredible experience, I decided to try to photograph the other yacht clubs firing their cannons at sunset. Next up was the Corinthian Yacht Club. I first ventured out here on May [...]

Tinkers Island Under Storm Clouds

On May 24th, the grey clouds that had covered us for days finally parted and, as they left, a storm churned off the coast. I went out after work while the light was strong and stopped at a number of spots to capture the not too distant storm. This image came from a stop at a home along Ocean Avenue. I've photographed from this spot before and am always amazed at how much the same scene can vary based on weather conditions. This time, I decided to focus on Tinkers Island in the distance as the light was best at [...]

A Blue Moon Over Marblehead Lighthouse

I missed out on shooting May's full moon and, when trying to decide on a photo to share today, came across this one from August of the rare blue moon. The blue moon is the name given to the second full moon in a given month. On August 30th, 2012, this one rose under perfect conditions. I shared a landscape oriented version of this blue moon but kept this portrait oriented one 'in the archive' to bring out on just such a day. This image of the blue moon was taken from along Front Street on this warm late August [...]

The Sun Sets Over Marblehead Harbor

Last week, I shared a recent favorite image of the sunset as seen from Chandler Hovey Park [LINK]. When I first arrived at the park, I actually ran past the lighthouse and to the edge of the land drawn by the incredible colors you see here. I took 4 photos at this spot before walking back toward my car in search of the more expansive view that I ended up favoring. For this image, I was drawn not just to the vibrant colors of the setting sun but also to the boats anchored in Marblehead Harbor. The sun not only [...]

A New Day Dawns Over Gerry Island

It still amazes me that Gerry island can appear so isolated at high tide and yet twice a day, as if by magic, a road appears linking us with this small island in Little Harbor. This image was taken on April 3rd after a sunrise shoot that took place at Hammond Park. The sun seemed to take forever to rise and I took advantage by driving over to Doaks Lane after finishing my shooting at the park. For this image, I decided to include a good deal of water in the foreground to highlight the isolation of the island but [...]

Tendrils on the Neck and Tinker’s Island in Storm Light

On Friday, the grey skies that had dominated for days on end finally threatened to break. As I drove home after work, I noted some dramatic skies with amazing cloud formations taking shape and decided to head out as soon as I could. I stopped home long enough to grab my camera and tripod and then made my way out to Marblehead Neck. I stopped at a number of spots along the way and will share those in the days to come. One of my final destinations was Castle Rock where I took this view after the more classic one [...]

The Great Tree at Star of the Sea Cemetery

Every morning, I drive down Lafayette Street and marvel at the great trees the line the center of Star of the Sea Cemetery. This year, the trees seem particularly healthy owing to the snow melt from Winter and the gradual warmup of Spring. As such, I had been determined to photograph them but decided that I needed a foggy day to capture them the way I wanted. On this Thursday morning, we had a thick fog roll in and I thought the conditions might just work. I headed to work a bit early and stopped at the Star of the [...]

Firing Muskets on Memorial Day

With Memorial Day upon us, I went back to the archive and pulled out this image taken last year. Marblehead does an amazing job in remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to this country. With a muster at Old Town House at 8am, a parade that begins at 9am at Old Town House and winds down to Memorial park, and a series of speeches at the park, there is much to do on this day. At the end of the speeches, Glover's Regiment is seen firing muskets to honor those lost in past conflicts.

Sunset Cloud at Devereux Beach

Yesterday, I shared the image of cannon fire at sunset. Before crossing the causeway, I had stopped at Devereux Beach and noticed this single cloud reflecting the golden light of the setting sun. I chose a portrait orientation so that I could include the light reflecting off the ocean water and the surf along the sand. Seemed like a perfect image heading into the Memorial Day weekend.

Firing the Cannon at Sunset over Marblehead Harbor

On Tuesday night, I headed out after putting the kids to bed in hopes of capturing another good sunset. While the clouds and approaching storms should have combined to put on a strong show, the light never really materialized. I had driven to Chandler Hovey again but didn't make it out of the car before turning back. On the way back, I turned down Foster Street to see what the view was like. As I got out of the car, I noticed someone sitting by the cannon and realized I had made it in time to witness the great Marblehead [...]
