Cape Ann Images: Attacked From Above !

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!

Attacked From Above !

After consultation with the President, I decided to release a photo of the attack.

Be warned....The photo you are about to view is graphic in nature. (Children may be induced into a laughing fit)

Ahhhh.... a job in the great outdoors, No 9-5 job under the same roof all day working with the same people. I've got the sea, the sky and fresh air (Well sometimes) and wildlife all about. And while waiting for the next boat to tie up I was attacked, a bombing run that would make the best combat pilot proud. A direct hit from a seagull from the shoulder down my arm and onto my clip board and hand! And it was not only warm but almost hot! That damn bird must of been flying for some time. Probably holding it in until he had the best target of opportunity......ME! And it hit with force!

SPLAT!
