The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?

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!

From Gloucester to Newburyport and Back Again !

The other day I had a "Roving Event" which took me to Newburyport to observe the unloading of the fishing vessel "Early Times". Once the fish are unloaded it was back on the road to Gloucester for the weigh-out at a local fish processor. The captain was telling me when he started fishing, 22 commercial fishing boats worked out of Newburyport....now only three! The only fishing infrastructure remaining there is an electric winch & boom. That winch is slow, especially at low tide. Half way through the unloading the skies opened up and I was soaked! At least the rain didn't follow me back to Gloucester!
