A Study in Pink at Crocker Park

I've shared a few images from the incredible sunset that took place on February 10th though all of those were of Abbot Hall and the houses surrounding it. From my vantage point atop a large piece of granite at Crocker Park, I was able to turn around and shoot toward Marblehead Harbor as the sun set. At this point, the light had reached its peak opposite the setting sun (the show was only getting started in the other direction). I decided on a wide view and used the nearby tree to frame the composition together with the deep blanket of [...]

A Bright Day Ahead at Brown’s Island

On Wednesday, February 25th, I met up with a photographer from Maine whose work I greatly admire and showed him around the Town of Marblehead. The sky was a boring (but welcome) bright blue and the tide was low so I decided to walk across Little Harbor to Brown's Island. We captured a few photos of the pancake ice that lined Brown's Island and then trudged through the deep virgin snow to this vantage point. I decided to compose this image to include both Marblehead Light as well as Children's Island. The sun was high overhead and I caught the [...]

Jophiel Asking for a Blessing – A Sculpture in Snow

There's no question that this Winter has been an incredible and soon an historic one with record amounts of snow and long durations of freezing temperatures. I've tried to capture some of the beauty that comes with the cold and snow and, when I first learned that a local artist had produced a sculpture in snow of an angel, I hurried to photograph it. Unfortunately I was too late (mother nature had destroyed her) but, for good or bad, more snow and continued cold meant that Jonathan Sherman had an opportunity to work on an even bigger piece. Starting with [...]

Snowed in – Winter in Marblehead

This image was captured after yesterday's share from February 10 at Crocker Park. The last light of sunset was fading as I headed to my car and looked back to find the incredible piles of snow pushed against this house on the corner of Darling and Front Streets. I remembered that I had a very similar image and checked my archives to find it was taken on February 9, 2013. It's amazing to see the difference in snow height compared to the last snowy Winter in Marblehead. February 9, 2013:

A Blanket of Snow over Marblehead

On February 10th, I had gone out to Crocker Park in order to capture images of this historic Winter with record amounts of snow. I was rewarded with an incredible sunset that lit up the sky and colored the snow in a pink hue. Before capturing that image, I had worked on several other compositions as the light began to develop. This image is a tighter shot than the prior sunset view and features an undisturbed patch of snow in the foreground with a blanket of snow seemingly thrown over the town of Marblehead. As I worked on this image, I [...]

Stuck in a Frozen Marblehead Harbor

On Wednesday, I headed out at sunrise to capture images of Marblehead Harbor frozen from the arctic cold that has held strong for much of the past month. I began by shooting from the mainland but then decided to drive across the causeway for images of the working boats now stuck in a frozen Marblehead harbor. I've never seen this much ice in Marblehead harbor before and, while nowhere near the thickness of ice in images from the 1970's, it made for an awesome sight. I decided to compose this image with Abbot Hall, St. Michaels and Grace Community Church visible [...]

A Path Through the Snow

This is the last image I captured on February 10th when I visited Crocker Park and witnessed an incredible sunset. After the light had reached its peak, I packed up my gear and made my way back to the car through chest-high snow drifts. I finally made it this path through the snow and, near the end, turned back to see the last hints of pink in the evening sky. I quickly set up the tripod and camera to capture this view showcasing just how much snow has fallen on this record-setting Winter. Who said there is no beauty to [...]

Frozen Tundra at Riverhead Beach

On Sunday night, I had decided to head out to capture the sunset as a snowstorm departed and truly arctic cold descended on Marblehead. The wind chill promised to drive temperatures to their lowest point in the past twenty years and so I promptly headed to the causeway where there would be no protection from the wind and cold... As soon as I arrived on Ocean Avenue, I turned toward Riverbed Beach where the last rays of sunlight were bathing the frozen tundra before me. After carefully negotiating huge drifts of snow, I found this scene before me of snow and [...]

Blowing Snow at Devereux Beach

The snow this Winter has been ridiculous - more so because the Winter has been compressed into all of 30 days of snowfall. After the latest storm left, a bitter cold wind remained and I made the brilliant decision to go out to shoot the sunset. Without a doubt, these were the most difficult conditions I have ever shot in. First, it took me a while to find a place to park the car with roads barely passable by one or two cars at a time. When I did, I found myself facing incredible wind gusts that pushed the single [...]

Snow Covered Steps at Old Town House

One last image (for now) of the Blizzard of 2015. After capturing the expansive view of Old Town House from the front of the building, I walked around back and noted the smooth hill of snow covering the stairs leading to the green doors adorned with wreaths. I decided to focus on the snow covered steps at Old Town House to help show just how much snow had fallen during the 36 hours of continuous snowfall.
