GMG Power Rankings #3

Sharon and Mike being #1 and #2 are really no brainers but now we get into complex territory.

There’s a cluster of people who could esily move up and down the rankings in the 3-5 range, but here we go.

In the number 3 spot we have David Cox.  David has an incredible passion for his photography.  You combine that with his love of Gloucester and taking beautiful portraits of people at all of Gloucester’s events and his contributions to GMG have been enormous.

There have been so many events that I’ve either had to manage or not be able to get to due to work and David has covered a good many of them for us.  He still hasn’t figured out how to use a computer  but he makes 3 or 4 cds of his work from each event at Walgreens and brings them down for me to upload.

We’ve been fortunate enough to view David’s work from the Block Parties, The Sail Gloucester and Schooner Festivals, The Annisquam Sea Fair, The Gloucester High Football Games every week, The Sidewalk Bazaar and much much more.

Ernie Morin told me once that it’s easy to take a picture of a person but it’s a gifted photographer that can capture a portrait of those people which capture their essence.  David capture portraits of people- their essence.

He is a gifted photographer and has become a good friend, always making me laugh with his silliness.
