The Lifeguard Chair and the Rainbow

Devereux beach was my first stop after Saturday's storm passed and the sun dipped below the clouds. As I arrived, I saw this rainbow in the distance and noted that the lifeguard chairs were back. These were a favorite subject last year (click here) and I quickly ran to compose this image containing two of my 'favorite things'. It was only after shooting this rainbow that I turned and noted the much larger one situated over the Neck. I posted the first shot of that bow over Children's Island on Monday (click here) and have more to share in the [...]

Long Exposure – Waterfalls in Marblehead

When I started this project almost two years ago, I did so in large part to learn more about my new town. As the shoots progressed, I found that Marblehead really did have everything I could ask for as a landscape photographer - ocean, harbor, beaches, ponds, boats, great architecture. You name it and I could find it...well, except for waterfalls. On Father's Day, I went out to Castle Rock with the kids and was surprised to see large waves crashing to shore. I had planned to walk down to the water with them but the seas were too rough [...]

Double Rainbow over Children’s Island

We had a great lightning storm pass through town on Saturday night during which I captured a number of bolts over the harbor (click to view). Immediately after the show, I raced home to avoid the brunt of the rain and wind. As the storm wound down, I noted the sun dropping below the clouds and thought I would try to push my luck and hunt for rainbows. As I drove toward the causeway, I saw one off Devereux beach and quickly stopped to grab some shots. It was small and I resigned myself that I had missed my chance [...]

The Light Show over Marblehead Harbor

I posted a single strike yesterday after the storm powered through and before running out to chase rainbows. I later reviewed my shots and found a few more bolts. I decided to stack the shots together and highlight the impressive light show that mother nature put on. Fitting as an even bigger show will be erupting over the harbor in just over a week.

Caught a Bolt of Lightning over Marblehead Harbor

Great little storm just passed through and I was one of a few at Chandler Hovey park enjoying the light show. Took almost 900 images to capture this one perfect bolt. Had Pearl Jam's Nothingman in my head the whole time: 'Caught a bolt of lightning... Cursed the day he let it go'

Sunset after the Storm

This will serve as a make-up post after today's poor showing on the site. With the storm that came through tonight, I had really been hoping for a chance at shooting some lightning and headed out to the Neck with that in mind. Unfortunately there was only wind, grey skies and some drizzle there so I walked around hoping the sun might shine through at sunset. Not 10 minutes later, I saw the first hint of pink. And then some more and then a bit more until this scene unfolded. I had to crank up the ISO on the camera [...]

Sunrise on the Summer Solstice

I'm not sure what it is about the summer solstice but, for whatever reason, I woke up at 4am - exactly as I did last year at this time (click for last year's photo). I decided to revisit Hammond Park at dawn and got there to witness some soft pink light fading as the sun got ready to rise. There were clouds at the horizon so I had little hope for a solid image until I saw the first signs of a red sun rising. I composed the image and kept chasing the rising sun. The images were fine but [...]

Best of Show – Marblehead Festival of Arts 2012

I am thrilled, honored and humbled that the jurors of the 2012 Marblehead Festival of Arts have chosen 'A Walk in the Fog' as Best of Show in photography. This is an incredible and unexpected honor. As I sought to show in the two posts from this week, we only moved to Marblehead in May 2008 and I started this project in August 2010. Here I am a few short years later receiving this incredible honor for one of my images. I will be receiving the award on Friday night outside Abbot and will be sitting at Old Town House [...]

Long Exposure – Crumbling Sand at Preston Beach

Another early image - this is the first long exposure that I took in Marblehead and again seems fitting for a theme of the week. I was exploring Preston beach at sunset on May 27th and found the outflow track from the drainage pipe had formed this great channel in the sand. I set up the camera on a tripod and took a few images as the sun set and the blue hour began. The sand kept crumbling into the rushing water and, during this 25 second exposure, it had just calved and created this beautiful passage. Make sure you [...]

First Sunset in Marblehead

This will serve a bit as a 'where I started' post. As many of you know, we moved to Marblehead in May 2008 so that I could start work as an Allergist at the Asthma and Allergy Affiliates in Salem and Danvers. We had just gotten here from Washington, DC where I had been working and moved to a rental house off Village street. My wife had found the house and I had only seen it once. On this night, one of the very first spent here, I witnessed the first of many beautiful sunsets. As it began to take [...]
