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.

OK, a guess. Isn’t there a steel hulled pirate ship in winter storage at Rose’s on Rogers Street? I believe the name of the marauding ship is FORMIDABLE. Very cool Marty!
