I like poking around where lobsterman hang about after they are done for the day. This lobster shack is extraordinary with all the little nick knacks on the window sill and this wonderful old wheel stuck on the outside. The early morning shadow added to this photo because without it it would just be another […]Read Post ›
I can’t help it. I’m an ultra wide lens type of guy. One recent morning I was out shooting with one of my tour groups and the boat ramp in the middle of town drew us in with the daylilies exploding out of a nice white picket fence near the entrance. My little Sony Nex-7 […]Read Post ›
The hard working lobstermen from Rockport have some very interesting structures that house just about everything you can imagine. But mostly it’s what they use everyday to ply their trade. I have been intrigued by these buildings since I was a child growing up next to the water. Basically they are sheds. Some are more […]Read Post ›
Outside my front door lies a big old mushroom. It is pretty cool looking in color but I wanted it to be something special so converting to B&W was a no brainer. In black and white it took on a whole new level of tone and texture which as you know are my two most […]Read Post ›

Ok so I have drifted backward! I’m slowly getting over it. But dam was it easy to do after being away from it for so long. The color world is slowly but most assuredly coming apart. Give folks an inch and they will take a mile! Lightroom, Photoshop, Photomatix etc. have enabled people to go […]Read Post ›
The nooks and crannies around Rockport reveal some interesting compositions like most communities. These wood and dirt stairs bordered by some long grass provided such a composition. The sun on the green grass caught my eye. Seeing light is something that can be practiced. After many years I have found myself attracted to backlit situations […]Read Post ›
Scouting for the perfect sunset for a local restaurant will be a long haul. Many trips over to their establishment over the next few weeks will be part of my daily schedule around sunset. But that being said, today was kind of fun. The camera was all set up on a tripod, live view running […]Read Post ›
