What was flying around the Beauport

A couple of nights ago as the sun was going down, I was at the Boulevard and saw this sight.  Come to find out it was lots of seagulls because there was an Eagle out of Ten Pound Island.

T-shirt company launched during Covid

Hi Joey!
Allow me to introduce myself. I have three businesses on Cape Ann.
I am a designer (http://thebrandgoddess.com) and a painter (https://lisacourtneyfineart.com)

But I launched a t shirt company during Covid called Good Gangsta (https://goodgangsta.com)

It’s all about being positive. Doing good + Being Good = Feeling good!

Would you ever do a story about me? 
I’ve attached a few shirts. 

Would love to talk more. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks!
Lisa Courtney

I nominate Mom’s Kitchen for best chili on the island

Not wimpy on the heat That’s what I like. Bold flavors, not skimpy on the meat. Mucho gusto!

CB Visits the Dock and It Doesn’t End Well

I took CB out at the dock for a photo shoot recently and I was pretty pleased with how things were going until CB took a “fatal” fall to the concrete and was too damaged to continue. Here’s the link for the my CB model. As I told her, “you can be replaced!” Thanks to the magic of Amazon, she was replaced for about $20. But we’ll be more careful at the dock from now on.

A Great Deal On My Sony Camera $300

If anyone is interested. It’s a great mirrorless NEX 5T. Included are two awesome vintage prime lenses, adapter and the kit lens. Battery, charging cable and strap.

The lenses alone are worth $300.

Here are some pics of the camera and some photos I took with it just yesterday. If interested email me at goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com

Shooting With Some Vintage Prime Lenses Using Lens Adapters Is Fun

I strapped on the 135mm 2.8 and had a blast playing with depth of field shooting around at the dock this morning. Here are some of my favorites from the session. Everything manual focus. Very cool.

Rusty Shatford

These are some of the cool lenses from the 60s and 70s that are built like tanks and operate smooth as butter.
