Cape Ann Images: 2021

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!

Santa Over Gloucester! Merry Christmas!

I got lucky this year! Santa found out I try to capture him every year and this time he called me! He said he loved my pictures and he gave me a time when I could photograph him close! He told me to be near St. Ann's Church and he'll come in low and slow down. True to his word there he was! He said Cape Ann is one of his favorite stops and loves to scout around before before midnight waiting for the children to go to sleep before he delivers the gifts.
