No Pretty Prayer

Posted on by Sharon

Sal Zerilli grew up “down the fort” during the 70’s and 80’s. He moved away, but held on tight to the love for his unique neighborhood of close-knit families and Italian traditions. Two years ago, fearful that the slow but imminent process of gentrification of his beloved fort would destroy its charm, Sal decided to preserve a bit of the precious history.

His documentary, “No Pretty Prayer” is a touching documentary of people and place. Each show at the Cape Ann Community Cinema has sold out. I saw it last night with Joanne (GMG’s own)who grew up as a non-Italian down the fort. Please-if you get a chance, catch this film. It’s a bit of Gloucester history that everyone should see. Bravo,Sal!!

She only looks innocent….

She’s truly a feline warrior. Livvy’s 11, but acts like a kitten. She destroys everything in her path opening wrapped gifts and dumping the paper recycling bucket. She is a character!

“Cycle del Sol” – at Sawyer Free

Posted on by Sharon

“Cycle del Sol” is one of my images on exhibit at the Sawyer Free Library. The photo was taken several years ago in Magnolia. There was a tiny shop next to the pizza place and every time I passed it, the bicycle resting against the wall shouted out to be photographed. I complied and this was the result.

Go see my photos at the library!

From now until the end of December, my photography is on exhibit in the Adolph I. Matz Art Gallery at the entrance of the Sawyer Free Library. The exhibit includes local scenes capturing the weather, light, and beauty of Cape Ann. Please stop by. Thank you!    —-Sharon
