Cape Ann Images: Back to the Dory Shop !

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!

Back to the Dory Shop !

It was time to check out what project Geno Mondello has going on in the Dory Shop. He's building a Lunenburg dory which will be 19'9" overall length and 15' long at the waterline. I also added a few images from around the waterfront taken the past few days.

I asked Geno to smile! I took two photos and this is as close to a smile I got!

Bow on!

The shop! And yes he knows where everything is!

Stem!

Drills and clamps!
