Cape Ann Images: America's Oldest Seaport From My View !

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!

Barista Uno said...: I discovered your blog after one of my periodic visits to Bowsprite's. Splendid photos I must say. I recently posted some of my own photos of the waterfront and a couple of maritime personalities in Marine Cafe Blog. You might want to take a look.

I'd be happy if you could add Marine Cafe Blog to your blogroll. I would gladly reciprocate.; 9:38 AM
