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.

Marty Goes Lobstering With Jim Waddell

Posted on by Marty Luster

Since settling here in 2010, I’ve wanted to learn the ins and outs of lobstering. To get me started, Jim Waddell of Rockport took me aboard Dolphin II out of Pigeon Cove as he tended his pots in Sandy Bay. It was a marvelous morning; I learned a lot and ate very well.

My thanks to Jim for his warm hospitality.

R. DUCK’S SECRET LIFE: A GMG Special Report

Posted on by Marty Luster

Is it possible that R. DUCK, the suave debonaire duck-about- town we have all come to know and love is really someone much more sinister? A GMG investigative report now has photographic evidence that beneath that smooth and yellow, dare we say “sexy” exterior,  lies the mastermind of an impending invasion of Cape Ann.

Here is a GMG exclusive photo of the invasion force in their landing crafts ready to wreak duck havoc on the unsuspecting citizens of Cape Ann.

Not here! Not now! Not on our long weekend!
