Why I created this blog.

Born and raised in Gloucester,Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bikes! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. Artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years,they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas,I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!
I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

Good Harbor Beach


Why is Cape Ann so unique? Myself.... I believe it's two factors #1 it's people and #2 it's topography. Here I'll focus on the topography. To the south is that other cape....Cape Cod. A sandy hook jutting out into the Atlantic.But here on Cape Ann it's the rocky shore dotted with beaches of all shapes and sizes.In a way Cape Ann is a hybrid of Cape Cod and Maine.Throw in the tidal marshes and you can see we have a little of everything that's New England.The following photo's,Good Harbor Beach were taken from early fall into the winter.

I'll never understand why anyone from Boston would fight the South Shore traffic to go to Cape Cod.

Your pictures are so fantastic. I hope that people click on them to see them the way they are intended to be seen large and full of details that you don't get without it being enlarged.

Keep up the great work Jay!

I love the change of light in the first two. So beautiful. I think you could shoot that every day and each one would be different.

You are really evolving as a photographer. Thank you!

My sister sent me these photos and I loved them, seeing these pictures made me so homesick for Cape Ann. I was born in Rockport but have not lived there for many years.
