Cape Ann Images: Harbor Cove !

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!

Harbor Cove !

Gloucester's Harbor Cove is surrounded by fish processors,an ice company and restaurants. You could say it's the heart of Gloucester's fishing industry and a key jumping off spot for schooner, charter fishing and whale watch trips. I spend about half my working time along the harbor right here where there's plenty of activity.
