Marblehead Harbor

From the Rooftops – The Corinthian, Harbor and Boston Skyline

This image comes from a trip to the top of Marblehead Light on July 2nd during the semi-annual stringing of the holiday lights.  I have shared a few images from this location but hadn't yet shown this one which features the Corinthian Yacht Club with a pool filled to capacity, Marblehead Harbor with boats as far as the eye can see and, in the distance, the Boston skyline.

Explosion of Color in Marblehead Harbor

Summer sunsets have to be one of my favorite subjects to photograph.  Heading out on a warm evening chasing after whisps of clouds and waiting for each evening's show brings a sense of anticipation that is usually well rewarded. On this evening in June, there was an explosion of color in Marblehead Harbor with the sky above moving through shades of pinks and purples that lasted for what felt like an eternity.  Seemed like a nice image to turn to on this December day.

Golden Light over Marblehead Harbor

This image comes from the end of July and some incredible clouds that formed over Marblehead Harbor.  As the sun began to set, the golden hour set in and this singular cloud was bathed in golden light. Don't forget the Annual Christmas Walk takes place this weekend! I will be signing my Wednesdays in Marblehead book at the following locations: Saturday, December 6 from 12:30pm - 1:30pm - Marblehead Museum Saturday, December 6 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm - Spirit of '76 Bookstore Sunday, December 7 from 12:30pm - 2:00pm - Arnould Gallery

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 [...]

First Lite in Marblehead Harbor

On Thanksgiving morning, the conditions seemed right for a dawn/sunrise shoot and so I woke up early and headed down to the State Street landing area.  I ended up walking to the end of Ferry Lane and set up to capture the sunrise in front of the Harbormaster office. I began shooting four lobster boats lined up in front of Marblehead Neck and the lighthouse with great clouds reflecting the morning light.  As the light built, I turned toward the causeway and composed this image with a single boat.  The light was beautiful at this point in the morning and [...]

Thankful to Live in such a Beautiful Town

With Thanksgiving upon us, it is time to give thanks.  Wednesdays in Marblehead began in August 2010 as a personal project through which I hoped to learn more about this town that we had recently moved to.  From the start and to this day, I have taken images for myself.  Every single photo captures a moment in which I went out in search of something new to explore in this relatively small town.  I am so thankful that we moved here in 2008 and that this project has been so welcomed by Marbleheaders new and old. A quick check on Google [...]

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 [...]
