Golden Light and Blue Water

Over the past few days, the quality of light has subtly changed to reflect the fact that Spring has finally arrived. While the temperatures could stand to be a bit warmer and while I await the cherry blossoms in town to reach peak bloom, I haven't been able to help but go out to shoot the sunset these past few nights. Last night I was treated to a very nice show from Parker Lane. Tonight I decided to head to Foster Street in the hopes that the light might be nice both toward Abbot Hall as well as back up [...]

Flying over Marblehead Neck and the Causeway

Almost exactly three years ago, I ventured up in a Cessna with a friend to capture scenes of Marblehead from the ultimate 'rooftop'. I had recently come up with the Rooftop Thursday series and was thrilled when a friend invited me to Beverly Airport for a flight over the North Shore. As I explained previously, unexpected winds started to blow shortly before takeoff and made an already nervous passenger grip his armrest for dear life. Between small bouts of turbulence that felt much bigger in a small plane, I managed a few shots of Marblehead as it crossed below. This [...]

Marblehead Harbor and Dawn’s Early Glow

Switching gears from this weekend's midnight photo outing to capture the Milky Way, I thought a nice dawn shot from Summer 2013 would help dispel the dreary, rainy day we have in store. This is the last of eight images captured on the morning of August 3rd in what would turn out to be a truly amazing sunrise. Hope you enjoy this warm start to Patriot's Day. Here are the other seven images captured on this morning in Marblehead:

Race Around the Swim Marker in Marblehead Harbor

On a warm Summer night, I visited Crocker Park in hopes of capturing a beautiful sunset over Marblehead Harbor. The sunset never did materialize but, just before 7:00pm, I heard a splash and spotted two kids racing toward the swim marker. I managed to capture them as they made their way around the marker and back toward the float. It won't be much longer before kids of all ages are jumping into Marblehead Harbor.

Lined Up and Ready to Sail

After this perfect weekend, I thought it fitting to look ahead to warmer days and a full Marblehead harbor. This image was taken on September 9 during an unusually low tide that allowed me to wade deep into the harbor. I was able to capture a few unique compositions from this vantage point including this one of boats lined up and ready to sail.

Colorful Sails at the Mouth of the Harbor

In August 2012, I was at Chandler Hovey Park when I spotted a number of sailboats flying colorful sails making their way through the channel markers at the mouth of Marblehead Harbor. The late evening light lit up some low lying clouds with a warm Summer glow and lent a much needed element to the scene.

Warm Nights and Purple Sunsets

Today's image comes from August 1, 2011 and was taken at 8:11pm as the sun set over another warm Summer day in Marblehead. There's something about those warm nights that seem to lend themselves to these purple sunsets. I don't recall seeing them nearly as often during the rest of the year. Won't be much longer before boats begin to fill Marblehead Harbor.

Ready for Summer in Marblehead

I'm ready for Summer in Marblehead - are you? I thought Winter had loosened its grip on us but last week brought a bit more snow and a lot more cold (bitterly so at times). With that in mind, I dove into my 'To Be Posted' archive and found this picture perfect depiction of a late Summer day in Marblehead. The image of boats filling Marblehead Harbor comes from high tide atop the causeway. Though the photo breaks one of the rules of photography (never put a horizon line in the center), there was too much in the foreground (rocks [...]

Calm Dawn over Marblehead Harbor

This image of a calm dawn over Marblehead Harbor comes from the morning of March 8, 2015. I had woken up early on this day despite the overnight change to daylight savings time and decided to take advantage of the situation by heading to Marblehead Harbor for a photo shoot. I was surprised by the absolute calm of the water as well as the sudden humidity that gave the impression of Spring on the horizon (even with several feet of snow still piled around town). This image comes from the peak of the morning's colors before the sun rose. The [...]

Frostbite Sailing in Marblehead Harbor

This image of frostbite sailing in Marblehead Harbor comes from a pleasantly warm Sunday on March 3, 2013. The temperature had hit the lower 40s and I was out exploring Crocker Park when I spotted this group of sonars going through maneuvers within Marblehead Harbor. Frostbite sailing is such a unique tradition for Marblehead and I highly recommend experiencing it in person from Crocker Park or Marblehead Neck. Sailing takes place on Sundays typically starting on November 11th and continues until the end of April.
