Birds

August 15, 2023

It’s hard photographing birds. They move fast in and out and up and down. It’s hard to focus even with auto-focus cameras but sometimes it’s possible. It just takes a lot of patience and trial and error. I’ve tried to photograph birds for quite a while with limited success. These came out pretty well I

Holy Mackerel

July 13, 2023

Some years I get lucky fishing from a kayak off Islesboro Maine. This year was one of those years, no more than a minute after dropping a line I had 3 mackerel! There used to be a lot more when I was a kid but great to see there are some left. We used to

A Walk with a View

July 13, 2023

This was taken on the southern tip of Islesboro, an island in Penobscot Bay Maine. The area is called Town Beach and faces south towards North Haven and Vinal Haven. The rocks in this area have a flat top with distinct striations that show the north-south movement of glaciers. The picture is of a friend

Nothing like a cool swim near sunset in August up in Maine. My youngest about to take the plunge.

Ram Island

August 20, 2021

Ram Island is just off of Cushing island in Casco Bay, Portland Maine. It’s a beautiful spit of land going towards the open ocean. This photo was taken from Fort Levett, a WWII gunnery on the island. You can access the roof of the gunnery by climbing through a small hatch. The roof is quite

Pesto

July 20, 2019

Basil from the garden mixed in a Cuisinart along with garlic, Asiago, pine nuts, olive oil, and lemon. If you want the vegan version use nutritional yeast instead of Asiago and if you can’t swing the high price of pine nuts, walnuts taste good as well. Typically Sweet Genovese Basil is grown around here. It

Summertime Cow

May 21, 2019

A cow lies peacefully in an alpine field, Mountain Road, South Tamworth. This was taken during a Tamoman weekend on a steep slope near the end of the road and the cabin. A long lens was key to this shot, compressing the image and bringing the cow close while throwing the background out of focus.

Race Point Beach

August 23, 2016

A friend on the beach in the fog, Provincetown, MA. Was surprised to see so many seals and so few people on an August day though it had rained heavily earlier. She always had her arms out like this, it was her ‘thing’ when having her picture taken, which was smart since it’s hard to

Angel Island

August 15, 2016

I think this is called Angel Island. The photo was taken while staying near the Presidio In San Francisco. This island surprises me, how beautiful it is, how painterly and yet I’d never seen it before. I would think it has been photographed and painted many times before, it probably has I’ve just never seen

Hutch Fest

July 30, 2016

Each summer we go to an island in Maine (Islesboro) and dig for clams and cook them up on the beach. It’s a little tricky to time the tide so it doesn’t wash the fire away while still leaving plenty of time to dig for the soft shell clams. The other tricky part is washing

Sunrise

July 15, 2016

This was taken mid-summer at sunrise from the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Bristol Maine. It being mid-summer that meant getting up real early like 5:00 or so to get there to see the sunrise. This photo is a bit corny but no photoshopping the seagull in, just a pretty snapshot moment in time.

Christening

August 10, 1996

This was taken of our firstborn after he was Christened on an island in Maine. Every family has iconic photos – ones that go up on the wall, then down and up again somewhere else, or get reprinted and reframed always to reappear – this is one of ours. It was a cloudy day and
