In our never ending quest to better the blog I upgraded the layout making it easier to read and allowing larger photos/videos and fonts. Hopefully you all enjoy the new look.

Re-Opening: Plenty of Help From My Friends

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
It was the Stealth Reopening of Bodin Historic Photo. Late this Saturday morning I was driven to my gallery on Main Street, Gloucester after 4 months in hospitals and rehab. I was safely wheeled in, and proceeded to organize the desk area. My friends and assistants for the day cleaned, swept, and arranged items in the showroom. They also took out a good amount of trash and recycling. Thanks Donna, Valerie, Kathy, and Janet. Also rewarding was a Virgilios Eggplant Supreme sub.

The visit was rewarding, stressful, and tiring. This was a big step and a test of my rehabilitation. It's difficult to operate a gallery from a wheelchair or walker. Tomorrow it's back to physical therapy, continuing down the road toward walking. The gallery will be open Saturdays from 11 am to 5 pm, and more days as my stamina and mobility improve. My next visit will earn me a spicy Italian meal from Virgilio's, a third generation Gloucester bakery. Pictured above on cover: L-R: Donna, Janet, and Valerie.

Hi Joey,

This horshoe crab didn’t catch the outgoing tide, which instantly put it on the Lunch Specials menu!

 

Enjoy!

The Reward

Posted on by Marty Luster

DSCF4456Fred Bodin was rewarded today for his months of hard work recovering from his cancer related disability. For the first time since January, Fred was back at his gallery, Bodin Historic Photo on Main Street, Gloucester. After nibbling away at his accumulated work, Fred rewarded himself with something he could really sink his teeth into, Virgilio’s Eggplant Supreme. “I’ve been dreaming about this for months,” he said.

Fred said that he will be at the gallery on a limited hours basis until his strength and mobility are fully restored. For the time being, he hopes to be open for several hours every Saturday.
