Keep it Local – Comina

Fridays are for local businesses and today features Comina at 39 Atlantic Avenue.  I was walking down Atlantic Avenue in mid-June on an especially beautiful day and looked for businesses featuring interesting architecture.  I first noticed some glass finiales in the window at Comina and it was only after crossing the street that I noted the great architecture of the building.  After shooting the exterior, I promises the owner that I would post this to the site in the next few weeks.  Two months later and I finally am clearing the backlog of photos of this picturesque town.

Marblehead from the Water

This is the last shot from our brief sail out of the Marblehead harbor.  I looked back after seeing the boats headed to their races and saw the town laid out in front of me.  I managed to get the entirety of the Neck with its lighthouse, the harbor filled with boats, and the mainland with Abbot standing tall.  I like this perspective of our town on a warm Summer day.

Wednesday Night is for…Racing

After 36 years, Wednesday Evening Races have cemented themselves as a staple of summer in Marblehead.  From mid-May to late-September, boats of various classes compete in races held just outside the harbor.  We were fortunate to be on the water as the groups headed toward the start line.  I caught this set of boats in open water.  Below you can see another group crossing in front of the lighthouse at Chandler Hovey park.  Unfortunately, the races were cancelled that night due to lack of wind.  I'll have to find my way out there again to capture these boats doing what [...]

Floating

Continuing on the sailing trip, we left the safety of the Marblehead harbor and ventured out in search of wind (there wasn't any) and happened upon this vessel.  The light on the subtle waves was making for some incredible designs and I sought to shoot an abstract of the water leading to the single sailboat along the island.

Out for a Sail

Last Wednesday, we were invited out for an evening sail by some good friends.  While I spent half the time shooting my wife, kids and surrogate parents/grandparents on the boat, I didn't miss the chance to photograph our town from the water.  After all, this is a sailing town!  This was an early shot from the sail when we passed what I presume is a charter from the Corinthian Yacht Club that seems to have stopped to admire the view of Chandler Hovey park and the lighthouse.  I loved the positioning of their boat just off to the side and [...]

Sunset at Rockett Landing – A Time Lapse

By |2016-11-06T12:06:28-05:00August 4th, 2011|Categories: Video|Tags: , , , |

I learned a lot from the first time lapse video and wanted to try my hand at it again.  Had a later start and couldn't make it to Chandler Hovey before sunset so I set my sights on Rockett landing off Village street.  Set up the camera to shoot every 5 seconds and stayed in the car to keep those mosquitos away.  Didn't have as great a sunset but the cloud movement made up for it.  I can't believe how much those boats move around in their moorings...

Two Stars from the Base of the Lighthouse

This photo was taken the same day that I captured the cliff jumpers at Crocker park.  As I mentioned there, it was a hot July 4th weekend in Marblehead and I found myself with some time at sunset.  I wasn't sure what to expect as the clouds had started to come in but made my way to Chandler Hovey park.  I had always shot the lighthouse from afar in hopes of capturing it in its entirety. On this occasion, I was drawn to the red door at its base.  I love the texture of the paint of the door and [...]
