Pictures With Santa! At Gloucester High School Photos From Marlee Melvin

Senior students are raising money by being able to take pictures with Santa at lunch yesterday and today. Taking a picture with Santa is a great way for the high school to get into Christmas spirit and to raise money for the senior class!

It’s hard to believe how much more digital information is hidden in each photo!

Hi Joey. I’ve processed this nice shot by Janet Rice to show that with some simple Photoshop enhancement you can bring out so much more powerful detail that doesn’t show up in the photo.

Photoshop Elements is a reasonably priced application and fairly simple to use. This was copied off of the GMG site so it’s in low resolution and very grainy which would be much better in high resolution from the original photo. We hope to have a workshop at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum next spring to show how to work with this editing program. -Len Burgess

Joey, even in Florida there is a crab trap tree (I didn’t take this pic).  Gloucester’s tree is still tops though.  Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Cheers, Sharon St Clair-King

Hi Joey,

Thank you for posting the Dolphin video last week. I hadn’t realized that the Gloucester Times had done a story until I saw it on GMG.

I was taking my dogs out for a bathroom break last night around 10 PM in heavy drizzle, when I noticed this little guy in the Evergreen next to our driveway.

We live in Bayview

Hi Joey-

I caught this pic at sunset this week at Pavilion Beach. Kind of captures the quiet of this time of year…

Hi Joey,

Not sure this would be of interest to other than yours truly, but attached is a picture of Dad (George Krewson Jr.) and Mother and the Oceanside Hotel at Magnolia..  Photos of Dad and Mom were taken in the late 30’s.   They purchased the hotel in 1931.  Next to me (I hope) it was their first love, and they did a fantastic job of operating it.

Our Always Fair and Balanced Lobster Trap Tree Poll and Gloucester’s Lobster Trap Tree Gets A Helping Hand From Our Awesome Fire Department!

vote in the poll mid way down in this post

Don’t forget to bring your children down to Art Haven to paint a buoy to adorn the tree.  That’s what separates our lobster trap tree from all those horribly disfigured monstrosity lobster trap trees up in Maine that are all built out of simply traps and cheap pre-made ribbons imported from China and manufactured in sweat shops with unfair labor practices.

Compare our Tree decorated with heart felt appreciation for our lobster industry and hard working fishermen by sweet adoring children form the Gloucester Community to the abomination seen below-

Gloucester’s Lobster Trap Tree Decorated With Hand Painted Buoys By The Loving Appreciative Children Of Gloucester MA-

Isn’t Provincetown where all the gays are?  I know the gays are better than this, much more creative and artistic.  Be better Provincetown, you’re not representing well here- at all.

vs.

Then you got the terribly disfigured one from Maine where it looks more like a Christmas Spike than a Christmas Tree-

Here we go folks, the third year of our fair and balanced GMG Lobster Trap Tree poll-

When our awesome Fire Department isn’t busy saving folks from horrific fires or rescuing cats from trees they make themselves available to help adorn The World’s Greatest Lobster Trap Tree With the lobster trap wire star that Russell Hobbs and his wife Melissa built back in 2009.

Yesterday was the day that Ed and the Crew from Art Haven strung the lights on the Lobster Trap Tree. Thanks David Brooks for the photos.
