Cape Ann Images: From Fishing To Windows and Fog!

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!

From Fishing To Windows and Fog!

Good Harbor Beach is always a favorite for wedding photos and you always see kids fishing on the waterfront. But rarely does one get the chance to photograph from one of Gloucester's most painted and photographed landmarks from the inside! I was at Ocean Alliance' "Paint Factory" for a meeting and I made sure to bring the camera along. Then as Sunday night settled in fog covered the city, and I love the challenge to photograph in the fog.
