Peter Prybot and Go Magazine, Air Tran In Flight Magazine

I’m not sure if you guys remember but last summer a freelance writer for Air Tran In Flight Magazine- “GO”, came down the dock to do a story highlighting Gloucester. I spoke with him at length and then a photographer came by a couple of weeks later to take some photos for the story.
About two weeks ago the editor called me to confirm some details about the story before it went to print and that was that. But on my way back home from Naples about an hour ago I just remembered that the writer had mentioned that he was going to also speak with Peter Prybot (I believe the timeframe was either September or October when they came to Gloucester to speak with us).
So I frantically searched my email box for the emails from the editor to alert them in case they hadn’t heard the tragic news about Peter. Thankfully they caught it just before it went to print as it was scheduled to be on all Air Tran flight seat pockets May 1st. They rewrote the story and included the news about Peter. So if anyone flies Air Tran in May look for the story and save a copy for me if you could.

RIP Peter

Nikon D70 Digital SLR Camera with Nikon AF-S DX 18-70mm lens

Many photos that I have posted here on GMG have been shot with this camera. It was my constant companion for several years and gave me the ability to satisfy my need for instant gratification. In the process, I have become a better photographer because of it. I now have the D90, but the D70 is still being used regularly.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a DSLR, this would be a great way to get one for less money than a point and shoot. I can show you the basics, and when the GMG Photo Treks begin, you can join in the fun!

Here’s the camera (Photo taken with my phone).

I can sell the body alone ($300) or with the kit lens and other accessories for $100 more.

Here’s more info on the camera

Sent me an email below if you’re interested! I’m here in Gloucester, so if you’re local, we can meet up so you can see it in person.:)     ~Sharon

Fred Buck Answers The Call Re: Photos Of The Rosemarie

A couple of days ago Mary Ann Anderson wrote in asking for help finding photos of her grandfather’s fishing boat, The Rosemarie-

Hi Joey,

I’m looking for some old photos of my grandfather’s fishing boat the Rosemarie. I was wondering if you could put something on the Good Morning Gloucester website to see if anyone has some. The boat sank years ago. My brother (Tom Scola) and I don’t have. My father, Joe Scola, is now 88 and would love to see some. Please let me know if this is something that can be done. Thank you.

Fred Buck who works in the photo department at the Cape Ann Museum dug around and  came through for us!

Fred wrote me yesterday-

joey – i work in the photo dept. at the cape ann museum.  saw the post looking for pics of the ‘rosemarie’  we’ve got a real beauty taken in the early 30s for Atlantic Fisherman by gloucester photographer john c. adams (she was built in maine in 1930) of her steaming into the harbor past the paint factory.  we’ve also got a number of others of her in harbor cove from the early 40s.  i’m attaching a low res version if you want to send it on to her or attach it to the post.  she’s welcome to get in touch with me at this email address and i’ll give her details on what we have and where she can find some other pix.  thanks for keeping it real!

Thomas Huxley Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.”

Thomas Huxley (1825-1895) Click the picture to go to the Thomas Huxley wiki page

image

A self-taught anatomist and comparative biologist, Huxley was ship’s surgeon on a very early voyage to New Guinea and Australia. He was a vociferous champion of Darwin and invented the word “agnostic” to describe his own thoughts about a supreme being. It was Huxley who first theorized that birds evolved from dinosaurs and who was the primary proponent of scientific education in 19th century Britain. A lifelong humanist and prolific essayist, Huxley’s grandsons include Sir Julian Huxley, first director of UNESCO, and Aldous Huxley, author of Doors of Perception and Brave New World.

Calling All Creative People!

Minimalist Motif in George Anderson's Gallery window on Main Street at last year's festival.

Jud Wilson's action figures Motif at The Ice Cream Store on Bearskin Neck at last year's festival.

One of the highlights of last year’s Motif No. 1 Day was the Find-the-Motif Scavenger Hunt, where mini-Motifs were placed throughout Rockport’s downtown for festival-goers to discover. There were Motifs made of driftwood, papier mâché, sleek steel, and an especially crazy-awesome one made by Jud of Ace Hardware using action figures attached to a plywood Motif (with lights! and sound!). The people who make Motif No. 1 Day happen are looking for more submissions for this year’s festival on May 21st. The general dimensions are 2′ x 3′ so that Scavenger Hunt participants can spot the mini-Motif easily, but if your creativity leads you to create a Motif that’s a bit smaller — or larger — it’s no problem at all. To join in the fun, e-mail rockportfestivals@gmail.com and let them know  you’ll be making a Motif for the Scavenger Hunt. Submissions are due by Thursday, May 19th, and participants are asked to pick up their mini-Motifs in Dock Square at the close of the festival (7 pm on Saturday, May 21st).  To get you in the spirit of things, here’s an image of a kit for a paper Motif No. 1, sold online by Fiddler’s Green. Yours doesn’t have to be this perfect of course. It doesn’t even have to be red — just vaguely recognizable as the (arguably) most famous fishing shack/art studio/storage building in the known universe.
