Photographer Paul Cary Goldberg, whose photographs are included in the special exhibition Voicing the Woods: Jeremy Adams, Instrument Maker, worked closely with Adams over a period of three months in an effort to capture the complexity, mechanics, beauty, detail and personality of the instruments and their maker. The resulting photographs, commissioned by the Museum, offer insight into the work and the process, highlighting the exquisite detail and craftsmanship of the instruments and underscoring the breadth and volume of Adams’s work.

Paul Cary Goldberg’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States, and in Florence, Italy and Tel Aviv. He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards for his photography and his work can be found in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Cape Ann Museum. Goldberg has been represented by Pucker Gallery since 2003.

This program is $10 for CAM members / $15 for nonmembers (includes admission). Space is limited; program is expected to fill quickly. Tickets/reservations are required and can be purchased online at Eventbrite or by calling (978) 283-0455 x10.

HOLY CANNOLI–A PENGUIN IN GLOUCESTER–AT NILES POND–NOW I’VE SEEN EVERYTHING!

great-cormorant-juvenile-niles-pond-gloucester-massachustts-2-copyright-kim-smithThose were my initial thoughts upon catching a glimpse of a large black-feathered and white-breasted mystery creature from across the pond. I entered the narrow opening through the shrubby growth that surrounds Niles Pond and inched my way closer to the sleeping bird, when up popped its head. Naturally not a penguin, it looked like some sort of cormorant, just not the ones we see on a daily basis on the shores of Cape Ann.

I later learned it was a Great Cormorant. As you can see from the photo below, in the early morning light and from a distance, its not hard to imagine a penguin.great-cormorant-juvenile-niles-pond-gloucester-massachustts-copyright-kim-smith

I wrote the title of the post thinking that possibly we could all use a beautiful creature to learn a bit about and a touch of humor, too. It has been a very difficult and divisive election and a very tough day for slightly more than half of the American electorate. Let’s keep our chins up, and realize going forward that it is preferable to build bridges together than to construct walls that divide.great-cormorant-juvenile-niles-pond-gloucester-massachustts-3-copyright-kim-smith

Back to Great Cormorants. With its white-feathered breast, this one is a juvenile. Great Cormorants, although widespread in much of the Old World, are generally only found in North America along the Atlantic Coast. Great Cormorants are described as heavy-bodied seabirds and larger than the usually seen Double-crested Cormorant. I watched him depart, his take-off was heavy and clumsy, but perhaps that was because he had awoken only moments earlier.

double-crested-cormorant-niles-pond-gloucester-massachustts-copyright-kim-smithCompare the Double-crested Cormorant (above photo). Massing in great numbers as they fly along the Annisquam and Essex Rivers at this time of year, the Double-crested Cormorants are ubiquitous. They are a true North American species and breed, winter over, and migrate along the shores of Cape Ann. great-cormorant-juvenile-niles-pond-gloucester-massachustts-1-copyright-kim-smith

Great Cormorant — notice the white throat pouch of the Great Cormorant, versus the orange pouch of the Double-crested Cormorant.
