Going back to film is easy, right! Well I found my long lost technique needs some work. So let me pose a question. How many of you check your depth of field on the rear screen after making a shot? I for one do – all the time. It’s part of my digital technique that […]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 ›

As the former photo editor of a large group of weekly papers it was my job to arrange for photographic coverage of all the graduations, proms, and tournament sports for our towns. This was not an easy task. Our resources were very low so freelancers were […]Read Post ›
One thing about living where I do is the chance to photograph some really cool stuff! A few years ago I followed the building of the schooner Ardelle by master shipwright Harold Burnham. It was a great experience and it connected me with the heritage of our area like no other photographic experience ever has. […]Read Post ›
The first Congregational Church in Rockport is undergoing a change! For the first time since the 1960’s the steeple is being restored. The housing for the bell is off and being worked on by American Steeple of Salem, MA. The bell has also been taken off and I am assuming that it too will be seeing […]Read Post ›
