A Blanket of Snow over Marblehead

On February 10th, I had gone out to Crocker Park in order to capture images of this historic Winter with record amounts of snow. I was rewarded with an incredible sunset that lit up the sky and colored the snow in a pink hue. Before capturing that image, I had worked on several other compositions as the light began to develop. This image is a tighter shot than the prior sunset view and features an undisturbed patch of snow in the foreground with a blanket of snow seemingly thrown over the town of Marblehead. As I worked on this image, I [...]

A Path Through the Snow

This is the last image I captured on February 10th when I visited Crocker Park and witnessed an incredible sunset. After the light had reached its peak, I packed up my gear and made my way back to the car through chest-high snow drifts. I finally made it this path through the snow and, near the end, turned back to see the last hints of pink in the evening sky. I quickly set up the tripod and camera to capture this view showcasing just how much snow has fallen on this record-setting Winter. Who said there is no beauty to [...]

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 [...]

Blowing Snow at Devereux Beach

The snow this Winter has been ridiculous - more so because the Winter has been compressed into all of 30 days of snowfall. After the latest storm left, a bitter cold wind remained and I made the brilliant decision to go out to shoot the sunset. Without a doubt, these were the most difficult conditions I have ever shot in. First, it took me a while to find a place to park the car with roads barely passable by one or two cars at a time. When I did, I found myself facing incredible wind gusts that pushed the single [...]

Working Boats under a Winter Sunset

Well, it happened again ;-) - a day of ocean effect snow and dreary grey skies began to clear right at 4:00pm. I had to drop off my son somewhere so I grabbed my tripod and camera bag and decided to see if my luck might hold for a second evening. I had a very hard time deciding where to shoot. I drove across the causeway and back again, down State Street and over to Front Street before doubling back. I finally ended up at the Landing and made my way over near the Harbormaster's office. From there I could shoot toward [...]

Trodding Toward the Sunset at Crocker Park

After an impossible amount of snow fall, it seemed that the sky would never clear from its dreary grey. But, as I finished shoveling our driveway, I noted a bit of sky poking out near the horizon. I quickly walked into the house and up the stairs for a better view and, sure enough, blue sky could be seen in all directions under the clouds. I figured there was a chance that the clearing would hold and the sunset would reflect off the clouds above and the freshly fallen snow that has piled up throughout the town - and so [...]

Snow Covered Steps at Old Town House

One last image (for now) of the Blizzard of 2015. After capturing the expansive view of Old Town House from the front of the building, I walked around back and noted the smooth hill of snow covering the stairs leading to the green doors adorned with wreaths. I decided to focus on the snow covered steps at Old Town House to help show just how much snow had fallen during the 36 hours of continuous snowfall.

Old Town House Surrounded by Snow

Another image from the aftermath of the Blizzard of 2015. Downtown Marblehead definitely saw its share of snow but the road around Old Town House was very well plowed. I switched to my widest lens for this image of the iconic yellow building without any cars on the street and snow banks visible all along Washington Street. Behind me was an 8 foot tall mountain of snow that had been cleared from the road throughout the night.

State Street After the Blizzard of 2015

Continuing this week's theme of photos captured after the Blizzard of 2015 passed through Marblehead, we come to this image of State Street. I've shot the houses along State Street countless times and have found a different composition on just about every visit down this street. On this day, I positioned my tripod against the snow bank on the right with one leg shortened and balancing on the 3-4 foot high pile of snow. This allowed me to focus on the houses with their alternating colors along one side of the street.

Blizzard of 2015 – The House at Lovis Cove

All week I'll be sharing photos captured after the Blizzard of 2015 departed Marblehead having left an official total of 24.5" of snow. Thankfully the cold temperatures resulted in very light snow and very few power outages. However, the light snow and strong winds led to incredible drifts (I measured a 48" one in our backyard). One of my first stops on Wednesday morning after the storm departed was Lovis Cove to see how this brown house had fared. I've captured images of the brown house at Lovis Cove at the peak of storms in the past (see below) and [...]
