Swim Team Action

Butterfly workout

This fall I had the pleasure of photographing the swim teams at some local YMCA’s. I swim at the Y regularly and it takes me back to my 8th grade swim team year as an avid breast-stroke competitor.

I’m Showing At the Newburyport Art Association

Two of my photographs are on exhibit at the annual Fall Juried Show at the Newburyport Art Association, Newburyport MA. The show runs from October 3 — 25. The opening reception is Saturday, October 4 from 7 PM to 9 PM. The show includes: Acrylic, Fine Crafts, Mixed Media, Pastel, & Photography. As a member of the NAA for many years I was drawn to the gallery because it features more photography than any other art association in the region.

Sunset Over Lake Quannapowitt

Lake Quannapowitt

In year 2002, Wakefield, MA

In 2002 I was making most of my landscape photographs with a Toyo Field 4×5 view camera.Here is one of my favorite images from those days. Alas, I have not used the view camera in many years; the purchase of my first digital camera — a Nikon D70  — put an end to that. But, one of these days I’m going to unpack the old camera. I miss the slow deliberate pace of adjusting the tilts and swings of the camera movements. I don’t miss waiting days to see my work on the developed sheets of film.

This photograph is available as an exhibition-quality fine art print and licensed for commercial use.

Super Moon Rising

Full Moon Over Wakefield, Massachusetts

Beautiful Wild Turkeys?

Wild Turkey
This afternoon my daughter and I met several turkeys during a walk in Lincoln, Massachusetts. While I was photographing the large ungainly birds a woman passing by said, “Aren’t they beautiful, look at all the colors?” In contrast, Molly said, “It looks like you can see their brains.” What do you think?

Mozell’s Water Llilies at The Rockery Pond

This afternoon I led a photo walk at the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield. This image called “Mozell’s Water Lilies” is at the Rockery Pond. We were entertained by a beaver who swam repeatedly around a giant snapping turtle — whacking his tail, while the turtle spun around in the water as if struggling with its dinner. Quite a show
