Tom Ring In The Office

Here is Tom Ring sitting across from my desk here in the office.  Tom Fishes for Lou Williams aboard The Orin C but used to fish with Linda Greenlaw, the female skipper from the Perfect Storm.  Tom is one of the great storytellers on the Gloucester waterfront.  Every time he steps foot in the office you can be assured there will be a spectacle.

Pictures From Matteo Russo’s Patriot

Usually when I photograph a boat I only post about a third of the pictures that I take.  I weed through and cull out the best shots.  There were a bunch from the Patriot that were left in the folder and never got posted so there will be a few more photos from different angles in the pilot house and engine room.
