What’s the best part of this nine year old little leaguer’s performance? The slide?  The helmet flip? The chest pound?

Kid just oozes swagger.

Swagger for days.

I just hope he doesn’t face that pitcher in high school.

Hi, I was at my mother in laws place in Gloucester on Sunday and attended the parade.  I am a street photographer by rep, my wife enjoys event photography.

You can find the better of my pics either on instagram, my handle is “pigmentallychallenged”  and a larger set of them are on my personal site

http://www.bobackphotography.com/p581425598

I have opened that gallery up to free downloading and will also upload the remainder of the in focus pics that were either too similar or less interesting as a street photographer but may still be interesting to those in your community.

Last note, I shoot most often in black and white for this type of event, (hence the Instagram tag).

My wife is still editing but I can forward her link once done.

Thanks to the town for a great Sunday this Irish Canadian spent a wonderful Canada Day hanging with his Italian American friends.  Will be back next year also.

With such little time between Fiesta and the third it must have been a daunting task to round up floats. I appreciate your hard work to pull it off.

Hi Joey,

I am not sure if you will think this is news worthy but I thought I would let you know about this event anyway.

July 14^th, 2018 my family (The Holaday Clan) is celebrating the 107^{th anniversary of} our grandparents wedding at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center.

They are no longer with us of course – but it is a great excuse to have a family reunion. There are 90 of us and we are coming to Gloucester

from all over the planet (Canada, Vienna Austria, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut,

New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC). Many of us are going to be in town for the week and some only for a few days.

The reason we chose Gloucester for this event is it is another reunion of sorts. 51 years ago my mother’s siblings all rented vacation houses

In Gloucester for a week and each brought all their children along. There were only 34 in the group back then. The Holaday clan has grown to over

100 people now. There will be between 85 and 90 of us on July 14^th.

My family has been coming to Gloucester to vacation every year since 1953. My father was an amazing artist and loved painting and

Sailing in Gloucester Harbor. You will no doubt see people walking on the Neck that week with T-shirts with his painting of the harbor

On their backs.

Best regards,

JUNE 29, 2018 ~ 11PIRATES ~

Demonstration July 21st 2pm Pop Up Show July 16 -21st John Caggiano, a long time Cape Ann artist, will demonstrate his skills painting with brushes and palette knives. His oil palette, which has evolved over many years, is large and varied. It contains many colors, most of which are utilized in every painting. He will most likely paint from photos unless it is feasible to move outside on the grounds of the Northshore Arts Association, in which case he will choose a subject from the surrounding area. Questions from the audience will be welcomed. If time permits, he will be happy to critique a painting that you bring with you as long as you are willing to share it with all in attendance. Aside from the Northshore Arts Association, John Caggiano is an elected member of the American Society of Marine Artists, Academic Artists, Hudson Valley Art, Lyme Art and Rockport Art – Associations. Annually he is a juried and invited artist in up to a dozen plein air events around the country including Cape Ann Plein Air. Some recent awards are the Texas Ranchland Award from En Plein Air Texas, the Guerrilla Painters Award from Wayne (PA) Plein Air Festival and Second Place in the Marine Art Exhibition at the Lyme Art Association. John Caggiano’s art may be viewed on Facebook, JohnCaggiano.com or at his gallery on Bearskin Neck in Rockport, Massachusetts founded in 1981.

Perfect for the deck, it’s heavy and feels premium like it should be at least double the cost.  I also like how deep it is so ash will stay contained unlike a shallow ashtray.
