Cape Ann Images: A Gloucester Mix !

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!

A New England Life said...: 83! What a guy! I'm sure working and hanging out with the boys on the docks keeps him going. Wonderful!

Wasn't the weather fantastic yesterday? It just seems to make the blood flow a little easier ; ) Looking forward to more of the same today.; 7:06 AM
