The Float at Crocker Park

The morning of Sunday, August 24 ended up being a very productive one. My wife and kids were out of town and I decided to wake up before 5:00am to capture the dawn from Crocker Park. Between 5:18 and 5:58, I captured a number of images from Crocker Park including views looking out over a full Marblehead Harbor with the sun rising near Marblehead Light. This is the last image I have to share from the set. I had never taken an image from this position before and sought to include the nearby tree as well as the float at [...]

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:

Abbot Hall and the Scaffolding

This past week, I had visited Abbot Hall and discovered that the red drapery and large M had been removed leaving bare scaffolding in place. After inquiring, I was told that the clock faces were being installed and that the project was coming to a close. Figured this would be a good time to share one image of the large M that had adorned Abbot Hall tower over the Summer and early Fall.

Hooper to the Harbor

Marblehead Festival of Arts 2015 People's Choice Award Winner During the Summer of 2014, scaffolding went up around St. Michaels' Church as a new steeple was raised on the building. I managed to make my way to the top of the scaffolding one August evening with the help of a friend and found this incredible view before me. I was struck by the row of houses along Hooper Street near Bank Square and the proximity of Marblehead Harbor (still filled with boats) as well the nearness of Marblehead Neck and the causeway. This view only existed for the briefest moments in [...]

Pink Sunset from Riverhead Beach

I've shared quite a few images from this photo shoot that took place during an unusually low tide on September 9th including having devoted a week to five of my favorites. I said I wasn't done sharing and, as you can see, there are a few more images in which I was treated to incredible light over both sides of the Marblehead causeway. In this image, I had taken position along the edge of the causeway abutting Riverhead Beach. The clouds had formed into streaks that reflected the pink colors of sunset over a full harbor with both Abbot Hall [...]

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 [...]

Purple Dawn over Marblehead

On the morning of October 8, a lunar eclipse was set to take place right at moonset/sunrise offering the chance to capture a 'blood red moon'. Unfortunately, the skies were not cooperating when I arrived at Chandler Hovey Park and found thick cloud cover at the horizon as a storm passed just to the north of us. While I waited and hoped for a break in the clouds, the morning sun lit up the clouds in a brilliant purple hue. There was very little light to work with and, even with a fairly high ISO of 800, the shutter speed [...]

Marblehead Harborfront

After the rain departed on Saturday, October 11, I decided to head out in hopes of capturing a few lingering clouds and some scenes of foliage around town. On an earlier venture, I had noticed that the Marblehead harborfront (not sure if that is an official name for the area depicted here) was showing signs of Fall colors. I made my way across the causeway to the public way at Parker Lane to see if the colors had indeed 'popped' in the interim. While there were some hints of orange and yellow in the trees, I was more intrigued by [...]

Full Lot at Little Harbor

This photo comes from September 28 and a trip around town hunting for early signs of Fall foliage. I ended up at the landing near the Marblehead Lobster company and found the waters of Little Harbor still filled with boats and subtle colors on Gerry Island. Composed this image to include the full length of Gerry Island, Marblehead Light in the distance and the boat ramp leading into the water.
