Video- 2011 Blackburn Challenge Filmed By Ed Collard

Ed uses the Kodak zx3 and Kayalu Salt Waterproof Camera Mount to capture the Blackburn Challenge

The Kodak zx-3 and kayalu salt waterproof camera mount performed perfectly, especially when you consider Ed all thumbs and no eyes Collard was the operator.

I would say you have to give Ed some props for improved camerawork. Nice slow steady pans and no ground shots, Ed is definitely improving with his camera work!
we will be bringing you more creative footage with the waterproof camera and mount in the coming weeks.
if anyone is interested in the gear you can buy them on Amazon here

An Inspirational Interview With Jeffrey Cluett- An Artist Without Limits

My faith and hope for the future of the art scene in Gloucester renewed after popping into Gallery 5 on Madfish Wharf

If I see another paining of a goddamn bowl of fruit I swear I’m gonna gouge my eyes out.

my suggestion- go down to Gallery 5 on Madfish Wharf, check out Jeffrey Cluett, Ben Macadam and Stephanie Williams work and rediscover what it was like for you as an artist when you had youth on your side and didn’t know any boundaries. Rules? We don’t need no stinkin rules!!! Rediscover and reconnect with what it was like to let it go and to create freely and push what is possible with whatever medium it is you work with.

This is the art that is making a difference. This is the art that inspires. This is the future. Welcome.

Ed Collard talking pretty confidently in his interview here but I think we all know he is secretly hoping for the race to be called early due to heat, LOL! I will say this-
If Ed Collard does indeed complete the Blackburn Challenge after only 5 times being in a Kayak I’ll be convinced he can do anything.



A note to all Blackburn Challenger Competitors and their families-
Swing down the dock after the race to get a free Good Morning Gloucester Sticker and have your picture taken for these pages Representing!

GMG Gear Preview- KAYALU RAM Marine Grade Gear Locking Suction Camera Mount

Ed and I preview the Kayalu RAM camera mount before putting it to the saltwater test, using it to film The Blackburn Challenge.

I recently bought a Kodak zx-3  Playsport waterproof video camera.  It was the camera that GMG contributor Adam Bolonsky used to tape this year’s Greasy Pole.  When I found out that the camera was only $77 it was an absolute no-brainer.

Last week I used it to film my ride to Gloucester in this video-

As you can see in the video there is a decent amount of camera shake with it being hand held.  I couldn’t use my Manfrotto Modopocket because that is made to sit on a flat surface.

So then I got to thinking about how much cool footage I could get if I outfitted one of my lobstermen with a saltwater resistant type camera and mount and I began my search.  With some advice from Adam Bolonsky I discovered the Kayalu RAM suction mount which uses heavy duty marine grade materials throughout.  A simple mount made from ordinary metal would be useless after it’s first use hitting saltwater.

We plan to use the Kaylau RAM saltwater camera mount with an 8 inch toughbar extension and the Kodak Playsport zx-3 to capture some footage attached to Ed’s Kayak for the Blackburn’s Challenge.

Here are some pictures-

I’m looking forward to seeing how it holds up. Look for our review post race. In teh meanwhile check out our preview here-

I put it on my Joey’s Approved Products page if you want to order one from Massachusetts based Kayalu

The Burnham’s Field Gardener Series- Devon the shellfish biologist

Burnham’s Field is the largest green space in central Gloucester. There’s been a resurgence of pride in Burnham’s Field, including a new 20-plot garden. GoodMorningGloucester is now running a series of video profiles of the Burnham’s Field Community Gardeners. Here are their stories.

By John McElhenny

Burnham’s Field Gardeners – Devon the shellfish biologist

Devon, a shellfish biologist, spends most of her days along the Massachusetts coastline. So it’s a treat after work to sink her hands in the dirt of her own garden. “Cape Ann and the North Shore are a combination of land and sea,” she says. “You get the best of both worlds.”
