Dusting of Snow on Browns Island

As snow is due to fall tonight from the latest Nor'Easter, I thought I would share one of the images I captured this winter while I took a hiatus from the site (but kept exploring this beautiful town). Today's image of Brown's Island and sunrise reflected in the still waters of Fisherman's Beach comes from December 10th. I had gone out the day before when snow began to fall and captured my favorite image of 2017 - 'Christmas at Sea'. With more snow having fallen overnight, I returned to Barnegat and Little Harbor the next morning to capture more images [...]

First Light on State Street

On Sunday, I headed out after the first snowfall of the season and made my way from Little Harbor to Grace Oliver Beach and then Redd's Pond before heading to historic downtown Marblehead. I shot a few frames of Old Town House and then walked down State Street to explore some new compositions. I ended up about halfway down the street eyeing this lonely lit street lamp the entire time. I knew I wanted to make that a focal point of the image and then found the right position to include the gently curve in the street, the pure white [...]

Perfect Morning at Redds Pond

As I went to bed on Saturday night, I looked out the window and noted the freshly fallen snow was sticking firmly to the tree branches with very little wind that might ruin the effect by morning. With that in mind, I set an alarm hoping for a few snow-filled scenes to shoot on what promised to be a perfect morning. I was out of the house by 6:30am and headed straight to Little Harbor to see what the Peach's boat looked like with some snow atop the small Christmas tree. The view did not disappoint and I shot a [...]

Christmas at Sea

What an absolutely picture-perfect first snow of the season! Once the flakes started falling at 11am, I headed out of the house to capture some scenes around town with freshly falling snow. My first stop was Little Harbor and a favorite tree floating in the waters just off shore. I parked in front of the Marblehead Lobster Company and headed down to the water's edge from where I played with compositions as this small boat with its beautifully decorated tree floated gently amid the fresh fallen snow. As the boat turned towards me, the starfish above was displayed and a [...]

Breakfast after the Blizzard at the Driftwood

In February 2013, a blizzard passed through Marblehead and I ventured out to capture scenes of the historic downtown distract in its aftermath. Whether it was great timing or dumb luck, I ended up in front of a familiar red restaurant as the good light passed - just in time to grab breakfast after the blizzard at the Driftwood.

Rime Ice at the Corinthian

Last Valentine's Day was the coldest of the entire Winter and resulted in incredible sea smoke conditions within Marblehead Harbor. I captured numerous scenes that morning and ended up at the Corinthian just before 8am where I found rime ice had formed over the rocks near the base of the yacht club. I composed this image to include the rime ice in the foreground, sea smoke over the water (which had turned into confluent fog at that point) and Abbot Hall in the distance. Thankfully, this Valentine's Day was much warmer than the one in 2016.

Old Town House in the Snow

The past few days haven't lacked for snow but wether it was the poor light or timing of the fall (and pauses between), I hadn't been able to capture views of our town blanketed in white. Thankfully, I've been out many times in the snow and often came back with views of the same landmark from different angles resulting in very different perspectives. Today's image of Old Town House in the snow comes from a picture perfect snow fall on the morning of January 24, 2015. There had been a light but sticky snow overnight and the plows had made [...]

Greystone Beach on a Snowy Morning

As this Winter without snow continues, I thought I would look back in my 'to be posted' archive for images from past Winters. Today's shot comes from the morning of February 15, 2014 and a short drive over to Greystone Beach to capture the view of snow covered ground reflecting the soft light of sunrise.

A Blanket of Snow over Redd’s Pond

Exactly one year ago, Marblehead was buried under feet of snow as wave after wave of snow storms added up to a record setting Winter. As we make our way through the mildest Winter in memory, it may finally be time to share some of those images of snow captured during the Winter of 2015. On Wednesday, February 25th, I made my way around town to try to capture images that could convey the incredible snowfall that had descended on Marblehead. As luck would have it, a fresh coating of snow had fallen the night before and I was able to [...]

Sunset After the Storm at Crocker Park

Once in a while, a snow storm departs just as the sun begins to set leading to perfect conditions and incredible light. Such was the case on this day one year ago - February 10, 2015 - when one of the countless storms departed as the sun began to set. I was at Crocker Park shooting a favorite composition of Abbot Hall when I turned and saw the golden light spread over Marblehead Neck. I quickly changed position and composed this image including the barren branches of a tree to help frame the final scene. I haven't had a chance [...]
