I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Color? Color? What the heck is that about. Reminds me of the port long ago. This city needs more colorful vistas!
I recently had a quick trip to Cinncinatti. They had murals on the riverfront. Palazola’s Sport Store has a Fiesta Homage. Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Jack Palazola, for allowing that. Take a look at the harbor renditions like inside Lobsta Land. The harbor was colorful. What I’m getting to is in todays GMG, look a the dory rower pictures background. Who can get a hold of Quincy Market Cold Storage, oops, Americold, or whomever to investigate tasteful murals on the Freezer buildings? A Giant Whale, A Fisherman’s Memorial, Coast Guard Helo in life saving act, Serene side trawler towing. Joey and Frankie at the old Mr. Winch off loading. A selection Contest would sure to be an on going National news item. Mt Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, and the Murals of Gloucester. It would be the 8th Wonder of the New World, Can you imagine standing at the end of the Jodrey Pier and seeing all of Gloucester’s History around you, Bigger than life! Whatever the internal use of those Buildings are, and they have brought a ton of commerce here in the past, they are not going anywhere fast. Let us try to use them! Etc, etc, Well, back to making Folly Cove Rum for me. Maybe that is where these ideas come from.
