Cape Ann Images: A Closer Look !

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!

A Closer Look !

During my learning curve I've come to realize that most of the photos I take of vessels, I try to capture the entire structure. Though that's ok for most... the sense of detail ,speed and size sometimes gets lost. Here I try to take a closer look to bring out the rigging and the play upon the ocean's waves.
