Cape Ann Images: Gloucester & Rockport !

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. 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!

Beth At Mehitable Puddington's Cupboard said...: I liked these photos because they bring out the individuality of each vessel. I never realized until now that I've never "seen" the day to day boats except in mass and as a whole piece of cloth. Thanks, for this is a much appreciated wakeup call. I'll be sure to take the time to look at each one in the future and honor their distinctiveness...even the ones who need a wee bit of sprucing up! :); 10:50 AM
