While at the State Fish Pier picking up bait this morning this guy caught a decent striper.

Again and Again Director’s Chair
Swung by to see Freida at Again and Again (she makes cool handbags made from recycled sailcloth) and saw this director’s chair that they make. Very cool.
Freida will be lending us a big sail for the Downtown Block Party that we are going to use as a screen to show slide shows of Gloucester Pictures and live video from the event itself. That’s gonna be cool as hell!

Guest photo-The Rabbit’s Picture at Captain Joe’s
One of my closest friends, The Rabbit took this photo when he came down the dock to pick me up.
I don’t know who those boots belong to but it’s a pretty picture nonetheless.

Baby Dogfish Video from Hootenanny03
I found this video on YouTube showing what baby dogfish look like swimming around in an aqaurium.

Baby Dogfish
Here is a picture of a baby dogfish. When we used to handle fish, many times the big female dogfish sharks would spill four or five of these baby dogfish out of her belly when we were dumping them into the big vats used to transport the fish to the processors. They all had these amniotic sacs attached to them.
This particular dogfish was mixed in with a tote of lobsters that came in. It brought back memories of those summers when we used to fill trailer loads full of dogfish every day right through the summer and into the fall.

Richard Gaines Reports On The Block Party
Downtown Gloucester Block Party, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Main Street to close for cruise visitors
By Richard Gaines
Staff Writer
“The block party is on.
Blessed unanimously by the City Council, the dream of a handful of citizens and two merchants for a taste of Main Street as a promenade, dance floor and platform for a cafe society this week took on the urgency of opportunity.”

We are also working on having a huge sail used as a screen to show slide shows (featuring some of my pictures and I’m thinking about asking if others want to put some of their Gloucester pics in too) and live video from the event.
Much much more to come!

Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center Wharf Shack 4:55AM 7/25/08
I spent a little time on the docks yesterday morning getting what I thought at the time some great shots of the rowing gigs they have on their floats. As it turns out with the wave action of the boats going by the pics that I got on the floats didn’t come out as good as I thought. Another morning when it’s slow on the water perhaps. That way the long exposures in the dark won’t come out as blurry. There were some decent ones in the parking lot though.
