Keep it Local – Hip Baby Gear

Did you know that Hip Baby Gear [FB page | Website] has been in their Old Town location since 2006? This is such a great store for new and young families to find the best products for babies and little kids. No need to read online reviews about strollers - just walk in, try them out and talk to a knowledgeable person...couldn't be easier! Even if they weren't cool enough to post my flyer on their door, I would be thrilled to share this image of their store on Washington street. Make sure you visit, stop to check out that [...]

From the Rooftops – the Cupola of Old North Church

I hope you are not tiring of these rooftop views courtesy of the Old North Church. I had such an incredible time that morning and get to relive it each time I share another image from that adventure. When Rhod and I first ventured up before sunrise, we went straight to the cupola and found that the windows had frosted overnight. This was almost the end to our outing but Rhod managed a MacGyver-esque save that got us an even better view. While he worked with a flashlight and scissors a floor below, I got to work shooting the interior [...]

Sun Rays over Marblehead Harbor

Earlier this month, the Snow Moon mades its appearance over Childrens Island and Fort Sewall. Before taking those images, I was struck by this developing sunset over the harbor. The clouds kept opening and closing making for these rays of light that shone down. Sometimes (well, pretty often actually), I step back from a photo and realize just how beautiful this town is. Hopefully, I'm able to do its natural beauty some justice.

Foggy Sunset over Devereux Beach

November 27th was a special night as far as photography is concerned. It was the night that I captured a couple walking in the fog on the causeway - which has been one of my favorite (and most popular) images on the site*. As I headed out that evening aware of the coming fog, I first stopped at Devereux beach where the sunset was unfolding. I had never witnessed a foggy sunset before and the colors were truly remarkable. Enjoy this calm scene. *I have the photo of the lampposts in the fog printed (very) large and ready to show [...]

Feel the Waves at Devereux Beach

Nothing tells the story of this Winter better than this photo of waves coming to shore at Devereux Beach. It was early December and unusually mild on this Winter day. I had planned to shoot the lights at Old Town House but still had some daylight to kill so I headed down to the beach. I took a few images of the setting sun but couldn't resist turning the camera toward the ocean and photographing the coming waves. I got hit by a later wave and the cold brought me back to reality in a hurry but, for a minute, [...]

On Hiatus this week

Just a quick note - I am taking this week off from posting photos to the site. I have an individual exhibit in March at the Marblehead Arts Association's Hooper Mansion and am in the process of getting 15 prints ready for that show. Please save the date - Sunday, March 11th 2-4pm is the opening reception. I also have a number of ideas for shots around town and am taking advantage of the relative quiet of school vacation week to get some of those images.

Keep it Local – Tory’s Jewelry

On Valentine's day at approximately 4:40pm, I came to the realization that I had only gotten a card for my wife while I had treated myself to a new watch (the old one recently broke). I jumped in the car and headed downtown making my way through Mahri, Shipshape and Tory's Jewelry. I had never been inside Tory's place and immediately noticed the beautiful golden retriever that seemed to take up one quarter of the space inside. She was very mellow and I took turns looking at the varied selections and patting her head. Tory's has a very wide selection including some [...]

From the Rooftops – Washington Street and Abbot Hall

Back to Old North Church for another view of the sunrise from the rooftops. This is one of a series of images taken on January 1st, 2012 as I welcomed the new year with Rhod Sharp on the cupola of the Old North Church. I've shown views looking down Washington Street towards Little Harbor, Gerry Island and the Lighthouse previously. This one looks back up toward Old Town and Abbot Hall. The architecture of these old houses makes it easy for the eye to slowly walk up the street toward Abbot Hall in the distance.

The Snow Moon sets over Old North Church

As the old saying goes, 'what goes up, must come down'. After shooting the Snow Moon rising the night before, I checked the weather conditions for the next morning and was pleased to see a forecast for clear skies. I figured out where the moon would be setting and determined the best spot for capturing it setting near the Old North Church. As I drove out in the early morning, I noticed the light cloud cover and hoped it wouldn't interfere with the final shot. When I set up near the lighthouse, I realized the clouds would blot out much [...]

Through the tree at Fort Sewall

This image exemplifies something I try to remember during each outing...Always look back on a scene! I had photographed the Snow Moon rising over Childrens Island and was pleased with the results. As I made my way back to the car parked on Front Street, I looked back every five minutes to recheck the scene I had left. When I turned the corner and saw the moon making its way through the great tree at the fort, I knew I needed to get my gear out once more and capture this image. By the time the moon had risen high [...]
