As the snowiest and coldest month on record comes to a close, it's time to take a look back at February. Here are all 19 images (it's a short month) shared on Wednesdays in Marblehead in the month of February.

As I did for the Blizzard of 2013, I again setup my camera to shoot a time-lapse for the duration of the storm. I started the sequence of every two minute intervals at 11:00pm and finished up a little after sunset when the snow finally slowed. During that time, I captured snow plows, the neighbor clearing his driveway, our kids playing in the fresh powder and my daughter's snowman slowly being buried. Here is the full sequence condensed to 23 seconds of the Blizzard of 2015: [KGVID poster="https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Horizontal1.jpg" width="854" height="480"]https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Blizzard-in-Marblehead.mp4[/KGVID]

I moved to Marblehead with my family in May 2008. In August 2010, I started 'Wednesdays in Marblehead' as a project to help me learn more about my new home town. The original plan to was to share new photos once a week. I stuck with that scheduled for the first few months but quickly discovered just how photogenic the Town of Marblehead could be. I started to shoot various themes and set aside [...]

For each of the past two years, I have compiled all the images shared and put them together into a year end slideshow. If three years makes for a tradition, the slideshow 'premiers' on New Year's Day and has been incredibly well received in the past. I finished this year's video over the weekend and then decided to try out iMovie's trailers to see if any might offer a fun preview of the movie before the debut. I shared the video below on my Facebook page on Sunday night. Within 24 hours, it had received over 20,000 views! I was [...]
On August 14, 2010, I shared my first image of Marblehead and created the Wednesdays in Marblehead website. I had envisioned sharing images once weekly but, after less than a year, was sharing them daily (guess I should have called it the Daily Marblehead...). I was trying to decide how best to capture the incredible road that this project has taken and settled on a slideshow retrospective. Below you will see every single image shared on the Wednesdays in Marblehead site over the past three years - all 726 of them. This easily could have been a 30 minute slideshow [...]
On Tuesday, June 25th, Marbleheaders will go to the polls in a special election. The first question on the ballot will be to appropriate funds to fix damage to Abbot Hall tower. Abbot Hall defines the skyline of our town and I could not imagine not having the tower available for generations yet to come. With that in mind, I produced this slideshow to hopefully convey the singular importance of this vote. Please get out to the ballot box on June 25th and vote YES on Question 1 to fix Abbot Hall tower.
As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 begins, I wanted to share a slideshow I put together of every image posted to the Wednesdays in Marblehead site over the past year - a year of photos if you will. If you missed any posts (and there were a lot!), here's your chance to catch up in just over five minutes. Enjoy and please share this with anyone in or from Marblehead who might be interested in seeing photos of our town. You can watch this full screen by clicking the rectangular icon on the bottom right corner (it shows [...]
