Frozen Marblehead Harbor at Sunrise

Today is my 40th birthday. In the past, I have made it a point to capture the sunrise on my birthday each year and I have ended up with some favorite images to start each new year of life. This year with forecasts for cloudy skies on Wednesday morning and overcast conditions for today, I opted to shoot the sunrise a day early. I started off intending to shoot from Hammond Park but it was closed off by a literal mountain of snow. I was able to get close to the waters edge and found an incredible scene of a [...]

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 [...]

Frozen Steps at Fort Beach

Shortly after capturing the image from Lovis Cove, I wandered down to Fort Beach searching for more unique images as a result of the blizzard of 2015. The most intriguing item was the frozen sea spray that coated the fence along Front Street as well as the handles along the stairs leading to the beach below. Unfortunately, there were cars parked along Front Street making compositions more difficult. I decided on this one showcasing the nearby frozen steps with Fort Beach in the foreground and Fort Sewall seen in the distance.

Moon Reflecting On Frozen Redd’s Pond

It's become a tradition for me to share my annual New Year's Day slideshow and this year's 10-minute show received an incredible welcome. Another part of the day's tradition is going out to shoot. I've captured some incredible sunrises on New Year's Day in the past few years but couldn't motivate for the early morning awakening this year. Instead, I drove around as sunset approached searching for a new composition. With the recent cold temperatures, I thought I might find some frozen waters but struck out along the shore. I then stopped at Black Joe's and Redd's ponds and found [...]

First Light on an Icy Castle Rock

Back to some recent images taken before the January thaw. On this particular morning, I again headed out in hopes of capturing some sea smoke. It turned out that my search was in vain but I did not come away empty handed. In fact, I witness (and captured) and incredible early dawn image that I'll share in the next few days (you'll understand why later) and then headed here to Castle Rock. I was surprised to see the tide pools had turned to ice and I quickly scampered down to the rocks as the sun began to rise. By positioning [...]

Snow Blankets Redd’s Pond and Pond View

That was a pretty incredible first snow of the season! Not really...barely any ended up sticking. As I watched the slush fall, I combed through the archives and found this image from January 2009. The original processing left much to be desired so I got to work trying to breathe new life into the photo. I'm much happier with it now and hope it conveys that feeling of being out at Redd's as the snow drifts down on a perfect Winter day.

Melting Ice at Redds Pond

Don't get nervous/excited...it's another image from the archives and not the status of Redds at the moment. This was actually taken in March 2009 after a snow storm and as the ice began to melt back. As I mentioned on Monday's post, I have been trying to bring out images that have been sitting in my archive for a while and waiting for a break in new material to post them. Hope you enjoy this view of Redds on this Wednesday in Marblehead...

Hockey Night at Redds Pond

A picturesque frozen pond and kids playing a pick-up game of hockey...you really can't ask for a more quintessential New England scene! I took my kids skating for their first time on Redds earlier in the day and promptly went out to purchase my first pair of skates (no real need for those when you grow up in LA). I returned for a few practice runs on the pond and found this pickup game in process. Grabbed the camera and shot a few frames. This image had a very classic, timeless feel to it so I decided to make it [...]
