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!

All In A Days Work !

This time of year the day boat fleet goes out when the weather permits....most of the time. Trying to balance the weather and fish quotas seems to be the pattern these days. And with the government restrictions and paperwork part of the fishermen's workload, sometimes I think they'd be better off with a lawyer and secretary onboard!

When fishermen need a diver to work on their boat or when something on the dock needs to be fixed they call on "Salvi" Benson, jack of all marine trades! "Salvi" is also a Gloucester legend, the all time St. Peter's Fiesta Greasy Pole Champion!
