Working Boats under a Winter Sunset

Well, it happened again ;-) - a day of ocean effect snow and dreary grey skies began to clear right at 4:00pm. I had to drop off my son somewhere so I grabbed my tripod and camera bag and decided to see if my luck might hold for a second evening. I had a very hard time deciding where to shoot. I drove across the causeway and back again, down State Street and over to Front Street before doubling back. I finally ended up at the Landing and made my way over near the Harbormaster's office. From there I could shoot toward [...]

Morning Swan in Marblehead Harbor

I went out this morning as another arctic blast hit Marblehead with temperatures in the single digits (7F to be exact) before the wind chill pushed that to -10 or so. I had hoped for a chance to shoot sea smoke from Fort Beach but was dismayed to see a harbor devoid of steam and little else to shoot. Just as the dawn ended, I spotted three swans swimming in Fort Beach. I quickly grabbed the camera and ran to the stairs leading down to the water as the swans approached. I captured this morning swan in Marblehead harbor with [...]

Sea Smoke in the Harbor – Corinthian and Marblehead Light

Back to the incredible display of sea smoke in Marblehead Harbor that took place on January 8, 2015. This image was captured on my first round at Foster Street (I would come back after capturing the sun rise at Castle Rock before racing to work). I had just photographed the sea smoke in the harbor with a purple sky over Abbot Hall and turned to find the sea smoke was even thicker looking out toward the Corinthian Yacht Club with Marblehead Light towering behind it. The wind was moving the sea smoke off the water and it took a few [...]

Smoke on the Water – Marblehead Harbor filled with Sea Smoke

In 2012, I was fortunate to witness and capture sea smoke on what was easily the coldest day of that year. Since first seeing the incredible beauty of smoke rising off the ocean at dawn, I have sought to capture it again. I went out a number of times in 2013 but the conditions were never right for sea smoke to develop. In January 2014, I photographed backlit sea smoke as the sun rose behind Tinker's Island. With all prior attempts, I had hoped to see sea smoke rising within Marblehead Harbor. I'm not exactly sure what conditions favor the [...]

Lobster Boat encircled by Sea Smoke

There's only one good thing about the arctic conditions that periodically descend upon Marblehead - Sea Smoke. I had first witnessed the phenomenon in January 2012 when the temperature dropped to the single digits with a wind chill bringing it to well below zero. On that day, I was rewarded for braving the cold with a truly awesome view of Marblehead Light. As the sun rose and the sea smoke continued to rise from the Atlantic ocean, I sought other compositions from my spot along Front Street. I have a few left to share in my 'to be posted' archive [...]

Boats and Scaffolding

As the scaffolding around Abbot Hall slowly comes down, I wanted to revisit this image from September captured during a low tide that allowed me to walk up to one of the floats in the harbor.

Golden Light over Marblehead Harbor

This image comes from the end of July and some incredible clouds that formed over Marblehead Harbor. As the sun began to set, the golden hour set in and this singular cloud was bathed in golden light. Don't forget the Annual Christmas Walk takes place this weekend! I will be signing my Wednesdays in Marblehead book at the following locations: Saturday, December 6 from 12:30pm - 1:30pm - Marblehead Museum Saturday, December 6 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm - Spirit of '76 Bookstore Sunday, December 7 from 12:30pm - 2:00pm - Arnould Gallery

Warm Summer Mornings on Marblehead Harbor

As the days get shorter and colder, it's nice to look back and remember these warm Summer mornings on Marblehead harbor. This image comes from an outing in late-August. I shared a similar image from this set when I first captured it. In that one, the sun had risen and the green light atop Marblehead Light had extinguished. The difference in the two images (taken 3 minutes apart) is pretty amazing. Here is the other for comparison:

Marblehead Harbor in the Blue Hour

In early September, I had woken up early enough to capture Marblehead harbor in the blue hour. I drove down State Street to Front Street and parked at the Landing from where I walked around the corner and found this vantage point. The waters were incredibly still and, for some reason, all of the lights were on at the Corinthian Yacht Club at 5:45am when I clicked the shutter. The golden glow of those lights complemented the blues in the sky and water with the bright green light of Marblehead Light reflecting in the still waters.

Between the Docks on Marblehead Neck

On Tuesday, October 14, I had made the decision to head out for a sunset shoot and chose Marblehead Neck as my destination. It had been a while since I had explored one of the public ways on the Neck in particular and so I drove down to Harvard Street and then down to the water's edge. I ducked under the closes dock and set myself up between the docks on Marblehead Neck as the sun began its slow descent. With Marblehead harbor still relatively full of boats, I composed this image to include both docks and Abbot Hall seen [...]
