Cape Ann Images: Work and Play !

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!

Work and Play !

Sunday isn't just for play,there's plenty of work going on along the waterfront. Fishing boats bringing in their catch,dock workers unloading the boats and a host of other water related jobs. From the whale watch fleets to the life guards at the beach.
During a break between boat landings I headed over to Good Harbor Beach and couldn't believe the crowd! So for about ten minutes I stopped and clicked.
