The Magical Boston Harborwalk
May 17th, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts

The magical Boston Night Scape...

This one taken from the Harborwalk: "The HarborWalk has a changing character as it winds through the city's waterfront neighborhoods and downtown district, stretching from Chelsea Creek to the Neponset River, through East Boston, Charlestown, North End, Downtown, South Boston and Dorchester. Part of the richness of the HarborWalk is its variety, reflecting the various activities and urban texture of adjacent land. The HarborWalk's design guidelines allow for the expression of diversity and a variety of active and passive uses.

The HarborWalk is designed to connect the public to a clean and restored Boston Harbor. The HarborWalk links the water's edge to the city's open space system.

The Restoration of the Charles W. Morgan Whaleship
Mystic Seaport
Mystic, CT
May 7th, 2013

Inside this gigantic structure is quite the undertaking, the restoration of last remaining wooden whaleship (built in New Bedford, MA in 1841) and the oldest American commercial vessel still in existence. It is amazing. You can walk inside and watch them actually working on the restoration process.

Info on the Charles W. Morgan Whaleship:

"he Charles W. Morgan is the last remaining wooden whaleship and the oldest American commercial vessel still in existence. Built in 1841 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, she sailed on 37 voyages around the globe during an 80-year whaling career. The vessel came to Mystic Seaport in 1941 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1967. More than 20 million Mystic Seaport visitors have walked the whaleship's decks.... more »

Belchertown School for the Feeble Minded
April 17th, 2013
Belchertown, MA

The song was playing during the post processing and it seemed fitting, pretentious, but fitting ;)

Yes, the room really was that eerie green.

Pink Floyd's Green is the Colour:

Heavy hung the canopy of blue
Shade my eyes and I can see you
White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore
She lay in the shadow of a wave 
Hazy were the visions of her playing
Sunshine on her eyes but moonshine made her blind every time
Green is the colour of her kind
Quickness of the eye deceives the mind
Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned

Masonic Setting Maul

Inside the The North Adams, MA Masonic Building

Home of The Lafayette-Greylock Lodge

Info: "The Setting Maul is a wooden hammer used by Operative Masons to set the stones in their proper positions in the mortar. It is in Speculative Freemasonry a symbol, in the Third Degree, reminding us of the death of Hiram Abif, the Master Builder of the Temple, which is said to have been effected by this instrument. The most important sentence in all of Masonry is uttered by Hiram just before he is struck down, "My life you can take, my integrity never." In some Lodges it is improperly used by the Master as his gavel, from which it totally differs in form and symbolic signification. The gavel is a symbol of order and decorum; the setting maul, of death by violence."

A dramatic B&W shot of the Everett Mill in Lawrence for today. 

The Everett is also the site of the first Historic Mills Photography Workshop, coming up on April 6. About a dozen people will spend the morning shooting the empty spaces of the Everett and Stone Mills, followed by an afternoon of postprocessing and more shooting!

The first session is sold out, but there is still room in our May 18 workshop.

The details are here:

Love this little town I live in.  Here is a bit of it's history:

"Acushnet is a small town in Southeastern Massachusetts with a deep and rich historical past.

This region of Massachusetts is a very beautiful area. The ocean is a very important part of our area. Massachusetts is known as the "Bay State" and we are located near Buzzards Bay. The bay is very important to us because it provides us with many fun activities during the summer months and it also provides jobs for many people. Fishing is a very important industry. There are many great sandy beaches along the coast. Acushnet is only a few minutes from Cape Cod and the island of Martha's Vineyard. The town also has four beautiful ponds.

Coast Guard House
Eastham, MA
Coast Guard Beach - Cape Cod
December, 10th, 2011

"On November 9, 1620, a ship named the Mayflower, 65 days out from Plymouth, England, made her landfall in the New World at what is now Coast Guard Beach. Captain Jones, knowing that his Pilgrim passengers were supposed to settle in northern Virginia, headed southeastward. Although he stood well offshore to avoid shoal waters, his ship soon became enmeshed in the worst shoals in the area, Pollock Rip. A miraculous change of wind enabled Jones to sail his ship free of the shoals, and he then turned northward to anchor in Provincetown Harbor, November 11, 1620.

The outer beach, or 'backside,' of Cape Cod has been the notorious graveyard for more than 3,000 ships since the wreck of the Sparrowhawk in 1626. The high cost in lives and property demanded by the sands of Cape Cod,... more »

Leading to the Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge
March 1st, 2013
Fall River, MA

It has been years since I last shot this section of my home town. Last time I shot it, I was still shooting film. It gets pretty busy on Friday night.

History of the bridge that is off in the distance:

"The Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge, also known as the Braga Bridge, is a high-level crossing that carries Interstate 195 over the Taunton River between the town of Somerset and the city of Fall River, near the mouth of the Quequechan River at the confluence with Mount Hope Bay. At just over a mile long, it is one of the longest bridges in Massachusetts. Opened to traffic in 1966, it provides an important link between Providence, Rhode Island, New Bedford and Cape Cod."

"The Providence River Bridge in Providence, Rhode Island is a network arch bridge -- first one I've seen live -- at the mouth of the Providence River at the northern tip of Narragansett Bay. It's apparently the widest network arch bridge in the world -- seven lanes of traffic across, plus room for pedestrians.

During the 1700’s, the bustling port at India Point launched countless trading voyages to the East and West Indies, giving the area its name.

During the 1700’s, the bustling port at India Point launched countless trading voyages to the East and West Indies, giving the area its name. After 1850, waves of immigrants — primarily Irish, Cape Verdean, Azorean, and Portuguese — landed at India Point, which teemed with steamships. The present-day Parkwas crea... more »

After the 2013 Blizzard Nemo

One of my boys finally makes his way through the igloo tunnel that he is making with his brother. Success! I have never seen them so happy to work at something so long. It was pretty awesome watching them.

Castle Hill Light
February 3rd, 2013
Newport, RI

Spent some time out shooting with fellow photog +Harry Davila .

I hadn't a clue where to head out today so I took a chance and stopped by this lighthouse. I had never been. I shouldn't have gone, it was frigid and windy. Great spot though!

History: "Castle Hill, at the westernmost point of Newport, was the site of a watchtower built in 1740. It was an obvious site for a light and fog signal to aid mariners heading to Newport Harbor and up Narragansett Bay's East Passage toward Providence.

In 1869, the Lighthouse Board's annual report made the case for such an aid:

Westborough, MA

History: "Almost 10 years after Danvers State Hospital was opened, construction started for Westboro State Hospital in 1884. With 600 plus acres of land and located on Chauncy Lake it was a promising place for it's new patients. In 1886 it opened it's doors to the public. On the property was the Talbot Building which was a former state reform school built in 1848. In later years the state took it over and became part of the hospital. The complex had a Laundry room, a Theater, Cottages, Male and Female buildings. Westboro would be the first to use homeopathic medicines to treat its patients unlike most hospitals of its time. Overtime when a ward or section of the hospital would no longer be in use, they would seal it up. Basically sectioning off the hospital until the only active part... more »
