TERRIFIC INTERVIEW WITH NUBAR ALEXANIAN AT THE LITERARY HUB! (INCLUDING A GREAT SELECTION OF HIS GORGEOUS PHOTOS!)
ON PHOTOGRAPHING A GENERATION OF GLOUCESTER FISHERMEN
NUBAR ALEXANIAN DOCUMENTS THE DYING ART OF EAST COAST FISHING
June 7, 2016
By Rachel Cobb
Rachel Cobb: How did you fall into documenting these fishermen?
Nubar Alexanian: I moved to Gloucester from Boston in 1971. I was teaching photography and having shows, and that was getting a little boring. I wanted to start doing magazine work and learn how to do photo essays, so I decided to find the most successful fishing family, at least in Gloucester, if not on the East coast, and follow them. That turned out to be the Brancaleone family. They had two boats. They were the boats that everyone else wanted to know where they were fishing. I followed them for about a year and a half and went on four ten-day trips to Georgia’s Bank.
I have a middle ear balance problem and get seasick very easily. After the first trip, when my wife came to pick me up, I had lost 20 pounds. She just drove right by me. Every time I would tell the Brancaleone family I needed to go again, they were just incredulous. It was painful for them to see me so seasick. So they were like… No! But they always agreed. When I sold the story to Geo, the magazine asked me to go on one more trip—a winter trip (which are really bad). But when you’re working on something and it has you, you just have to keep up with it.

AJ’s Closing Words From Erica Duda

Erica DudaMorning everyone! I want to talk about the elephant in the room. I am the daughter of Chuck and the sister of Andrew. I am well aware of the reason why AJ’s is closed and will not be reopening.
First off, thank you for your patronage. Our family greatly appreciates your kind words about the food and atmosphere. We are truly sorry we couldn’t make the ship float.
Secondly, the reasoning. Most restaurants (I think the statistic is about 85%) fail. Running a restaurant is hard, getting people to work is even harder. People don’t come to work, people don’t show up for interviews, some people are overpaid but you need them…it’s just hard to find the right people. We decided as a family that it was the right thing to close. We are sorry to disappoint anyone, but it was our choice.
So please, be kind and…

Cape Ann TV Lunch & Learn Series: How To Make A Movie On Your iPhone
Cape Ann TV
Lunch & Learn Series:
How To Make A Movie On Your iPhone
Cape Ann TV’s Lunch & Learn Series continues on Wednesday, June 29th, 2016 at 12pm with “How To Make A Movie On You iPhone” presented by Professional Video Producer, Ted Reed.
It used to cost thousands, if not millions of dollars to make a movie. But now the basic production tools are in the hands of millions of people. Your smart phone can capture better video than most top of the line professional cameras did only a few years ago; all you need are a few tips and a few (if any) accessories to produce a festival-ready film. Join independent producer Ted Reed for a Cape Ann TV Lunch and Learn discussion that will show you what you need to know and what works best to get high-quality video out of your iPhone. The principles are the same for almost any current smart phone; we’ll concentrate on what the iPhone can do and the free or cheap apps that will help you get your indie feature made.
Participants are encouraged to install the ProCam app* which we will do a quick tutorial on, but even the stock Camera app will do the trick.
Space is limited for this event; please RSVP to rtober@capeanntv.org to reserve your spot.
*Cape Ann TV in not affiliated nor endorses this application. Please do your own research and use your own discretion when downloading.

A HEARTFELT VIGIL FROM GLOUCESTER TO ORLANDO #lovenothate
Mayor Romeo Theken and Heidi Wakeman
Community members gathered Monday night at a vigil organized by Mayor Romeo Theken for the victims of the Orlando shooting. The memorial was held outdoors at City Hall with the American and Rainbow flags flying at half mast in honor of the victims and their community. The Mayor led the program, with eloquent speeches given on love, hate, and tolerance by Reverend Wendy Fitting, Reverend Rona Tyndall, Reverend Thomas Bentley, Representative Ann Margaret Ferrante, and Senator Bruce Tarr. Several songs were sung, with Alexandra Grace and Josh Cominelli performing Hozier’s “Take Me To Church.” Heidi Wakeman read the poem “Say I Love You,” written by Christy Sharshel.
The screenshot below, of the comment from Rick Fish, is from Mayor Sefatia’s Facebook page. Rick is working in the trauma room at the hospital to where shooting victims have been brought.
So proud of our community for this gesture of loving kindness.

Old Pung Gets a New Keel
I wish I had gotten a photo of the rough hewn board this beautiful finished piece of work started from. Larry Dahlmer created the keel in two pieces–the one shown will go in the stern of Old Pung. In the first photo, you can see him underneath the boat preparing to install it. I found it amazing that Larry does all this work wearing open sandals.
