Cape Ann Images: Hurricane Irene August 28 2011 !

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!

Hurricane Irene August 28 2011 !

After reviewing some of my files I came across images from Hurricane Irene I took back on 8/28/11. The storm brushed our coast providing an awesome show of power. We were lucky, only a few trees were toppled, minor flooding and sporadic power outages effected Cape Ann. It's always good to remind us all that Mother Nature can surprise and put peoples lives in danger. Never tempt her and always be aware of your surroundings. High surf can sweep the unexpected away and can pelt you with large rocks and debris. All these images were shot with a telephoto lens from a safe distance.
