Trick-or-Treat on Main Street From Fred Bodin at Bodin Historic Photo!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I always have Halloween treats in the gallery for the little trick-or-treaters and their parents, who are often my customers. Older spooks and goblins come in later, and the Main Street dinner crowd arrives in the evening, when I might offer wine and cheese.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Why don’t they just save everybody a whole lot of time and aggravation, skip the Open Casting and Sign Sista Felicia to a Multi-Year Deal?

I mean really?

A few Sandy Storm photos from our house on the outer shore near Eastern Point light.  The midnight shot was high tide – too bad we couldn’t really see it.

More Dead Finback Whale Photos From Halloween (Last Day Before Removal)

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

kim diebboll forwards-

hi joey,

here’s a few photos of the whale now that he’s resting on cape hedge beach. he’s looking rather sad and pretty beat up.  the guts  which i saw over by pebble beach yesterday, were cleaned up by the town today, so they are gone now.

i guess this is his last day, as i hear he is being removed tomorrow.

So You’ve Lived Your Whole Life Til Now Not Knowing What A Dead Finback Whale’s Guts Look Like

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

hi joey,

thanks so much for your great blog. i always enjoy reading it.

i went for my morning walk today to see what happened after sandy hit last night. i smelled something foul and came across parts of the whale washed ashore  on the road which runs along pebble beach in rockport. i imagine parts may be showing up elsewhere as it is obviously now not a whole whale.

i thought other readers would be interested.

keep your eyes open!

i don’t know if this is the best way to share photos? please let me know if there is another way.

thanks, kim diebboll
