Cape Ann Images: Power & Speed Years Apart !

Why I created this......

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 bicycles! 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. For that reason 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!

Power & Speed Years Apart !

I went down to the Rocky Neck Marine Railways as things are getting busy there. The usual painting going on as the fishing vessel "Miss Sonya" gets a new coat. But up on the "ways" was the tug "Bath" from Boothbay Harbor,Maine. She was built in 1908,four years before the launching of HMS Titanic! And there was a 2800 horse power monster....."Codzilla"! "Codzilla" screams around Boston Harbor taking it's passengers on a thrill ride over 40 mph with rock-n-roll blasting from it's speakers !
