Cape Ann Images: January 2016

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 Snow Is Back!

Last Winter we had 128" of snow and that all began on this very weekend! Hopefully we won't have another winter like that but here it is. And while Boston TV weathermen predicted Gloucester would get 1"-3" of snow Saturday we actually got 8" on the ground!

A Mix of New and Old!

A little of new and old here and shows the different faces of Good Harbor Beach. While going through my files I sometimes get the urge to reprocess photos.
