Coffins Beach - Gloucester, MA
My wife and I are still on the quest for the perfect place to settle down. Had to take a break from living with family. Winter rental on Coffins Beach in West Gloucester, MA. I like this place...
A few from the streets of Beantown...
My commute into Boston everyday puts me at work about a half hour to an hour early. Now I have no excuse to not shoot a little bit almost every day. The camera store I work for is located in Kenmore Square near Fenway and that is where I wander until it is time to punch in. Here's a few I've taken recently...
One Night Stand...
It's not a sleazy as it sounds. One Night Stand is a great event to help support a great cause... and I'm part of it. Myself and a whole bunch of other artists have each donated a piece of art in support of an auction to benefit Art From Scrap in Santa Barbara. During the auction, no names of the artists will be revealed until after the work is sold. So... you wont know if you are getting A Yoko Ono, Jeff Bridges, or Larry Mills original until it moves you enough to buy it. All of the art was created at the same size, on a piece of 9X9 inch mason board provided to us, and will be sold at the same price of $200. All proceeds go directly to AFS.
I'd post a pic of my piece but... that wouldn't be fair. I'd post one after the auction is over but... I forgot to take a picture of it before I sent it off to the West Coast. If you are in SB during the event (details below), go see if you can guess which is mine... and buy it!
The Commute...
The last time I posted, I was working at a warehouse and living in Northwood, NH. Technically I still live in Northwood, but am currently staying in Andover, MA and commuting into Boston each morning. I have a new job selling cameras for Hunt's Photo in Kenmore Square, near Fenway.
Today was actually my first day of work but I took a dry run on the train yesterday to see if I knew what the hell I was doing. It turns out... commuting from Andover (25 miles or so, North of Boston on the 93) is a pain in the ass. It takes up a lot of my time each day going to and from, but while I'm on the train (both commuter rail and subway) I find it's the only time I remember to take pictures. Or... stop for second to do so.
Here are few random images I snapped on my practice run yesterday and today's commute...
First Holga photo...
Taken in 1996, before I learned you could take the insides out and make it square...
Sign of the Times...
"Sign of the Times" These images present themselves as I travel routes throughout New England, but mostly near my home base of Northwood, NH. I am sure this is a reoccurring theme in Everytown, USA, but these are the images that I see on a regular basis which remind me of the country's current economic situation...
Hot Rod Open House...
Bumped into this little bit of advertising out front of the hardware store the other day...
Ye haw... my first Hot Rod event in New Hampshire! Followed the signs, only to find 3 guys standing around a late model 5.0 Mustang, with the hood popped up, in a muddy driveway. Oh well... Still look'n forward to seeing what's in store...
Happy to find... I was found...
There's a blog that I love to frequent called IMAGES FOUND. It's creator, Levi Wedel, posts images he finds on the internet that, in his words, "he wished he had made." The site boasts thousands of images made by photographers of all skill levels, from all over the world, with links back to their websites. I've spent hours on end combing through the pictures and links which has proven to be an excellent source of inspiration for me.
A couple of days ago, I was flattered to find that he had posted a couple of my images that he found and liked...
