All that’s left in the bait bags after the lobsters pick all the meat away. The cartilage of the skatewings look just like Casper the Ghost faces.

Seal Sunning Itself At The Dock

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Yesterday Ed Collard spotted a seal sunning itself on a camel at our dock.  The very camel that the Mellissa K ties up to.  It was incredibly relaxed even as Ed and I approached it to take pictures and videos.

Look for the video tonight at 6PM

About the artist

 

Fine · Art · Photography

Photographing in the light of the Japanese esthetic of Wabi Sabi (recognition of beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete), photographer Max Schenk has produced images that reflect the fine art discovered in the everyday objects of our lives and environment.

His exploration of photography began at the age of 14 with his first camera, a 35mm Yashika GSN, and while he has now fully embraced the digital age, Max also maintains his connections to traditional photography equipment and techniques.

Nationally recognized for his work in environmental conservation, education and advocacy, Max’s worldview and photography is imbued with an appreciation of nature’s cyclical resonance in all things. His work includes environmental and industrial abstracts that have been chosen in juried art shows across the North Shore region of Massachusetts.

A broader sampling of Max’s work can be viewed on the JPG Magazine website:

www.jpgmag.com/people/Max888

“One of Max’s great talents as a photographer is finding order in chaos. He captures unique patterns in natural and metropolitan locations that reflect the environment and his own style simultaneously.”

JPG Magazine, November 2009

“Max is a wonderful photographer and I am inspired by his images and writing.”

The Birth of a Schooner

Posted on by Marty Luster

Eleventh generation shipwright, Harold Burnham and the Essex Shipbuilding Museum celebrate the raising of the first frames on the Pinky Schooner ARDELLE.

Kids (and parents) learn some basic boat building.
Some work and. . . some don't.
The crowd gathers at the H.A. Burnham Boat Building Yard.
Visitors sign the keel.

Making frames.

Harold and Capt. Tom Ellis of the Thomas E. Lannon are overjoyed to see work begin. Geoffrey Richon, President of the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, where Ardelle will be berthed, enjoys the moment.

Up she goes!

Ready for the next one.

Posted on by capeannpainter

I’m Bumming!    That jerk, EARL is going to F up the weekend! But it’s “almost” hard to complain because of the great Summer we’ve had.

Here are some night shots I took at my favorite Hangout last night before the real Hurricane hits.

I can’t wait till Saturday Morning to get some shots of Joeys PORTA POTTY Heading to Nova Scotia.
