Cape Ann Images: Down on the Dock!

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!

Down on the Dock!

It was a hot hazy and windy day,the threat of thunder storms was there but they moved west of Gloucester. For me it was not a good day to be on the water to take photos, the haze alone washes out many good subjects. I did head down to Captain Joe & Sons for a bit to "shoot the breeze". While there the fishing vessel "Lady Jane" came in to offload bait for the lobster boats, so I headed for my truck and grabbed my camera.

"Lady Jane" heads in!
