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!

City Hall Revisited !

During the summer of "09" I had the opportunity to climb inside the City Hall clock tower. From stairs to ladders with bird poop covering everything above the bell level, the climb to the top was interesting and was one heck of a workout. Dispite dirty windows the views was just breathtaking. A recent renovation had helped reinforce the tower structure and repaired the clock and bell ringer. But with the dirty windows I was never happy the way the images came out. So I looked back to see if I could help "clean" up the images I took back then and this is the result.

Good Harbor Beach and Milk Island. I have yet to see a cow on the island!
