Cape Ann Images: The Tradition of Turkey Day!

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!

The Tradition of Turkey Day!

I was an assistant football coach from 1982 - 2002 at Manchester/Essex High School and the coach who hired me now has the Thanksgiving Day Trophy named after him, Fran York. It's also named after Georgetown native the late Eric DiMaio.

Coach York was on hand to present the trophy to this years Thanksgiving victor the Manchester/ Essex Hornets who defeated the Georgetown Royals 39-8.

Georgetown now has a new field complete with artificial turf, lights and a new scoreboard. Gone is the old "cow pasture" where depending on the weather it was either mud or ice or both!
