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!

Another Mix, From a Movie Shoot to Dogs!

My niece has a new dog, a French bulldog. We were puppy sitting the other night and that gave a chance for Tesa to meet her "cousin" Allie our Boston Terrier. Meanwhile Gloucester is again a location for another movie "Finest Kind". They are using a USCG helicopter and it woke me up flying low over my house! I headed up the hill behind my house to check it out.
