Life’s A Beach in Marblehead, MA

As the nights get colder and the air dryer, thoughts start to turn from Summer toward the coming Fall. I thought I would start the week with an image that seems to toe the line between the two seasons with this foggy day at Devereux Beach. This image was taken on August 9th (the same day that I shot the lifeguard chair from last week and two nice soft sunset shots yet to be shared). At this point, the fog had started to roll in and the setting sun lent some nice coloring to the low lying clouds. I walked [...]

Fog on the Water at Redd’s Pond

On July 2nd, I went out at sunset to scout out spots from which to shoot the Fourth of July fireworks. The tides were going to be approximately the same on this night as on the fourth and I decided to check on a few possible locations that were tide-dependent. As I drove from one spot to another, I went by Redd's Pond and noted fog rolling across the water. I had never seen the fog act this way at Redd's Pond before and quickly jumped out to try to capture this phenomenon. I'll note that this was some of [...]

Lone Sailboat in Marblehead Harbor

As I mentioned yesterday, I have now shared 700 images of Marblehead since starring this project in August 2010. I decided to go through my published and 'to be posted' images over the weekend to reflect on that and found this lone sailboat in Marblehead harbor. This image was taken on July 28, 2012 and I remember going out that day because some mid-day fog had begun to roll in. This was taken at noon and the fog at that point had been alternating between pea soup and atmospheric or moody. As I happened upon the lone sailboat, the light [...]

Foggy Morning at Star of the Sea Cemetery

Last week, I shared another black and white image taken at Star of the Sea cemetery on this foggy morning in late May. I mentioned then that the trees are what drew my eye and, in this image, I decided to use the dirt road to bring the viewer's eye directly to the trunk of the great tree and then beyond it to the bend and fog beyond. Again the decision to process this in black and white was an easy one given the textures of the tree and gravestones.

The Great Tree at Star of the Sea Cemetery

Every morning, I drive down Lafayette Street and marvel at the great trees the line the center of Star of the Sea Cemetery. This year, the trees seem particularly healthy owing to the snow melt from Winter and the gradual warmup of Spring. As such, I had been determined to photograph them but decided that I needed a foggy day to capture them the way I wanted. On this Thursday morning, we had a thick fog roll in and I thought the conditions might just work. I headed to work a bit early and stopped at the Star of the [...]

Abbot Hall Tower Illuminated in the Fog

Judge's Award - Marblehead Arts Association Summer Member Exhibit June 2013 On Monday, May 6th, I arrived home and noted that fog was starting to roll in. I decided to grab the kids and my camera and head out in hopes of capturing the unique beauty of foggy scenes. We started off on Parker Lane - me with my camera, they with an old dSLR. The fog would thicken to the point of hiding the distant mainland and the sun at times and then quickly dissipate revealing the shores again. From there we drove up to Chandler Hovey Park and [...]

Something Wicked this Way Comes – Carnival at Devereux Beach

The Carnival is Coming! I have to say that this is one of my favorite Marblehead traditions...the Senior Carnival at Devereux Beach. Not only is it a great subject to photograph but it's amazing to bring my kids to now and know that they'll return here for years to come. In the past few years, the carnival has brought along very interesting weather and none more so than 2012 when dense fog descended. While that may have been bad for business, I couldn't be happier for the chance to shoot the carnival grounds in the fog. When I arrived, the [...]

A Foggy Night on Mugford Street

Some of my favorite photos have been taken in the fog and we had some great fog in mid-February as a result of a warmup after the Blizzard. I have a number of images from that night (some already shared) and decided to bring this one out to finish up the week. As I made my way down Washington Street, I decided to turn around at Old Town House and look to see what Mugford Street might look like in the foggy conditions. It turns out that the street lamps were producing great diffused light as the road curved beyond [...]

Washington and Pleasant Street in the Fog

Did you know that Mud Puddle Toys is celebrating their 10th year anniversary? Seemed appropriate to post this image taken in early February of this year. I mentioned in the other black and white foggy images that I had ventured out a few days after the Blizzard passed when rain and warmth led to a rapid snow melt. Around sunset, that combination led to great fog and I photographed Washington Street in the eerie light. As I made my way down the street, I stopped at the corner of Washington and Pleasant in the hopes that a car would come [...]

Jeremiah Lee Mansion in the Fog

As you may recall, February 11th brought warmth and rain after the Blizzard of 2013 passed and led to some great dense fog at sunset. I headed out as soon as I could and captured a number of images. The best part of the fog was the diffusion it caused for the lights along Washington Street in Old Town. One of my first images was of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion. I knew that I would end up processing this image in black and white and there was something about the grate in the street that drew my eye. I decided [...]
