State Street After the Blizzard

Hope you aren't tiring of images of snow because I have a lot more to post. This one comes from the evening that the Blizzard of 2013 ended. The driving ban had been lifted at 4 and I made my way to Washington Street and then State Street to try to capture the aftermath. Though I have photographed State Street a number of times, I have never found a good composition for these two houses that stand near Front Street and the harbor beyond. On this day, as I turned up Front Street and looked up State, the composition practically [...]

A Shining Star Over State Street

On the morning of December 30th, I headed out in hopes of capturing the streets of Old Town draped in a light dusting of freshly fallen snow. As the sun had yet to rise, I decided to head to Front Street first and capture the sunrise. Along the way, I drove down State Street. When I saw the wreaths on the lit street lamps and the shining star in the distance, I knew I had to stop and capture this scene first. The only spot that worked for the composition I had in mind was the middle of the street [...]

Glover’s Regiment at the Christmas Walk Parade

This weekend marked the Annual Christmas Walk and, as the festivities began, a light snow fall commenced to add to the festive mood. After Santa landed by way of a lobster boat and took photos with the assembled kids, a parade took place led to Glover's Regiment. I happened to have ended up in front of Old Town House with my kids and, as the regiment marched up State Street, I quickly grabbed the camera and found an angle to capture this moment. When the lead drummers turned, I grabbed this image. The Regiment largely hid the assembled crowd and [...]

Keep it Local – She

In the middle of September, I had the chance to walk around old town and enjoy an unseasonably warm day. I stopped at the corner of State and Washington street where I noticed the metal rooster adorning the front of the store She. I ventured inside for the first time and asked about the rooster while noting the incredible assortment of items for sale. To borrow their description of the Facebook page: She is a contemporary, indie women’s boutique, filled with eclectic accessories, quality clothing, and unique home décor. As Small Business Saturday approaches, make sure you head down to Washington [...]

From the Rooftops – a new project starts with State Street

I would like to introduce you to my newest project in exploring the town of Marblehead - shooting from the rooftops. At the end of August, I found myself on a bike ride through town trying to scout out new locations. At some point, I began to notice all of the widow walks that dotted the rooftops. By the time that I hit The Landing and saw the deck on top of the Harbor Wharfs Condo, I had decided to make this into a new project. I wrote a letter and tried to contact a number of residents whose houses [...]

Keep it Local – Hand in Hand Massage

Fridays feature local businesses and today's entry is Hand in Hand massage. Blane and Monique have been in practice as massage therapists for over 20 years. Three years ago, they moved to this historic location on beautiful State Street. I was fortunate to have a postcard-perfect sunrise when I took this image. Both therapists are incredibly good at what they do which I was reminded of just this past weekend when I received a chair massage at the Rotary Great Race. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with them soon. The house's fascinating history is written on the [...]

Before These Crowded Streets – Old Town House

Only one week left until the overnight parking ban is lifted and the parked cars return. I'm convinced a photographer came up with the ban that extends from the end-of-Fall until early-Spring! It's a wonder to walk these streets in the early morning hours and explore them before the town stirs. On this morning, I walked the length of Washington street to the Old North Church and wandered up and down State and Pleasant streets. Here are the first two images of Old Town House from that walk. The morning light was absolutely perfect on this particular day and turned [...]

After the Blizzard in Marblehead

The blizzard of 2010 has come and gone leaving about 18" of snow in Marblehead. After digging out and sledding with the kids, I took a drive around town and captured these images. Technical: All taken with Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22 lens. +1 EV.

State Street Sunset

I had wanted to shoot State Street for a while now and happened to drive up here after shooting on Front Street to find a brilliant pink sunset. The biggest problem was dealing with the traffic on this busy street as the light faded. Managed a few usable frames and this one which I really liked. Best part of the night was meeting up with a friend and having a drink at Maddie's! I'll definitely be shooting this street again as the Winter parking ban goes into effect soon and I plan to explore the streets of Old Town in [...]
