The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?

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!

Colors of a Gloucester Winter !

Cold and dry mean bright skies. The wind had picked up today as the temps dropped, but it was a pretty good day to be out. And this time I remembered the battery!

Annisquam,Lanesville and Rockport !


I had to go out for a few errands and I figured while I was out to take the camera along. So when I was done I headed to Annisquam and when I was ready for the first shot the camera wouldn't work! I had forgot the battery! It was a trip back home to E. Gloucester to grab the battery out of it's charger and back to Annisquam I went.

Winter in Rockport !



A short side trip to Rockport this time of year without the thousands of tourist milling about allows me to park where I want!

Crew Saved And Boat Saved !



Working the sea can be rewarding and dangerous. Since 1623 Gloucestermen have suffered the perils of the mighty ocean to bring food and a paycheck home. Two men are lucky to be alive and their vessel is also fortunate. It's very rare that both their vessel and their lives were brought home to live and work again!

It's not "soda" and not "pop" or even "soda pop" it's "tonic"!
