The Cranes at Sunset overlooking Marblehead Harbor

You know you are dealing with an incredible sunset when a pair of cranes grab your attention and become the focal point of an image. I had never imagined taking a picture of the two cranes that stand at the end of this pier off Foster Street but then I never saw light as incredible as on this Wednesday evening. With the low-lying fog bank on Marblehead Harbor and the explosion of colors overhead, I kept moving from one spot to the next trying to capture the incredible light before me. As I moved to cross from one side to [...]

Sunset from the Boston Yacht Club

Though I haven't been out shooting much in the past few weeks, it's almost as much fun to revisit images from my archive that have yet to see the light of day. This one was taken almost exactly one year ago (June 3, 2013) shortly after I captured the Boston Yacht Club cannon firing at sunset. As I turned towards the causeway and Skinner Head, I spotted a nice cloud formation and streaks of clouds serving to accentuate the colors of sunset. Between the image from one of Marblehead's yacht clubs and the official first day of Summer having just [...]

Clouds Reflecting in Marblehead Harbor at Dawn

Wednesday, April 23rd proved to be a surprisingly productive morning which began with an incredible sunrise captured from Bass Rock Lane. After exploring a number of compositions there, I decided to drive out to Hammond Park as the gathering clouds promised a continuation of the great light I had been treated to. The view did not disappoint with calm waters serving to reflect the gathering clouds in Marblehead Harbor at dawn. I tried a few different compositions here as well but liked the expansive view - especially with the sole boat moored in the harbor.

Fire in the Sky over Devereux Beach

On January 15, a truly breathtaking sunset took shape over the Atlantic ocean and Devereux Beach. As the sun dropped below the horizon, the sky built up with color and the clouds served to reflect and accentuate the scene making it appear as though there was a fire in the sky. I have shared a wider view of this scene including the causeway and lampposts but had to share this one as well for its powerful colors.

Waves Coming Ashore at Mooring Road

I developed a bit of an obsession with the pier at Mooring Road in 2011. I had first discovered the pier in April 2011 and this image is one of the first I captured on that day. I would return in the early Winter to explore the pier jutting out from the road in one of my favorite long exposure images later that year. As we approach three years since capturing this images of waves coming ashore as seen from the pier at Mooring Road, I thought it was a great opportunity to finally share the shot. Click below for all [...]

Spring Sunrise from Hammond Park

With yet another snowstorm predicted to hit Marblehead in the next few days, I decided to head out early on Sunday morning to capture some storefronts for my Keep it Local series. I checked the forecast the night before and was hoping for the best with the 'partially cloudy' conditions that were predicted. As I left the house at 5:45am, the first hints of light appeared and I saw some impressive streaks of clouds. I only hoped that the clouds would hold their shape and be angled correctly when I reached the harbor. As I drove, I continued to watch [...]

The Working Boats and Abbot Hall

It had been exactly one month since I last went out to capture images in Marblehead. And so, around sunset, I decided to head out and see if the clouds that had built up over the past few hours might lead to a decent sunset. I drove across the causeway and looked back only to find the sky too overcast to let through much light. The clouds over the harbor had some interesting structures though so I crossed and headed down to the water at Riverhead beach. I walked along the water so that I could place some distance between [...]

Impossibly Beautiful – Fences in the Snow and the Ocean Beyond

Continuing with this week's theme of images captured on the morning of Thursday, February 6 after 10-12 inches of snow fell on Marblehead, we come to this impossibly beautiful scene. After capturing the image at Fort Sewall and then the tree lined street of Glendale Road, I noticed the clouds were lighting up and decided to head to a nearby favorite vantage point. I arrived at Bass Rock Lane to find much of the lane that extends to the Atlantic ocean beyond covered with unmarked snow. I hated to disturb the snow and so I set up a vertical shot [...]

Early Summer Evening over Marblehead Harbor

As this post goes live, we should be seeing the first flakes of an expected 10-12" snowfall on this early February day. I couldn't make up my mind about whether to share an image of snow or sun this morning and turned to my Facebook page for advice. The response surprised me with a nearly even split. In the end, the thought of being transported (if only for a moment) to a warmer day won out and I decided to share this image taken on June 3, 2013 at 7:18pm. So almost exactly 4 months from now, it's a warm [...]

Last Night’s Sunset – Devereux Beach, Marblehead, MA

I had another post in mind for today but then this happened and I just couldn't wait to share it. Yesterday was a good day. It began with having the cast taken off my left foot where I had broken a small bone back on December 7. The feeling of having that weight lifted (literally) was tempered as soon as I stepped on the foot and realized I now had a long way to go in getting up to speed with walking. As it happened, I had a physical therapy appointment at the JCC a few hours later that went [...]
