Dogtown Sumac
I love sumac at this time of year! Great colors, textures and lines. From a photo walk in Dogtown with the participants in my photography workshop.

Man at the Wheel
Another shot from my photo walk with the photography workshop. How do you take an interesting photo of something like this memorial that’s so iconic that it’s hard to be original? It’s not easy, especially on a day with relatively boring light. I tried to make this more interesting with the processing (mostly adjusting contrast in the foreground and adding texture to the clouds to the sky), although the angle is totally conventional.

Yesterday’s clouds
Yesterday afternoon I drove from Rhode Island back up to Gloucester, and stopped several times to take photos of the clouds. In my photography workshop this afternoon at The Hive, I will be explaining (among other things) the techniques I used to bring out the contrast and detail in these photos.

This Sunday, July 7, is the last day of the “Griffin Museum’s Photography Atelier 17” show at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck. I twill close with a special event: form 5-6PM, the director of the Griffin Museum will give a free gallery talk!

Origami and Photography Workshops
I will be directing an origami workshop for kids at Art Haven and a digital photography workshop at The Hive this month! Here are descriptions of both. For pricing and additional details, see official websites (at the links provided).
Origami for Kids at Art Haven
Thursdays, June 27, July 4, 11, 18, 25, 3:30-5:00PM
“Origami for Kids” will introduce young artists to the world of origami. Besides learning a variety of basic fun models across a variety of themes, we will go over the essentials of origami terminology and symbols involved in reading origami diagrams, so that the children can learn to fold on their own more easily.
Digital Photography Workshop at The Hive

July 2 and 16, 4-7PM: Before going out to shoot, we will meet at Art Haven, where the instructor will explain key camera features and shooting tips and techniques, including the differences between file formats (with their relative advantages and disadvantages), how to use manual settings, basics of composition, and shooting HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. We will then go to shoot photographically interesting locations throughout Gloucester, with some suggested themes and perspectives.
July 9 and 23, 4-6PM: We will meet at The Hive to share our favorite photos from the past week and critique each other’s work. Besides providing creative feedback about the shots, the instructor will give instruction on techniques for post-processing using popular software.

Something to soothe your eyes
I’ve been too busy moving to do be able to get much together for a blog post – I’m working on something about all the great places to buy 2nd-hand items in Gloucester, based on my experiences these days, but it’s not ready yet! So, here’s a photo I took two years ago, on vacation in Ireland.

Spring brings rainbows! (I hope)
It seems that every year I get one or two good rainbow shots.
From May, three years ago (in Les Avants, Switzerland)
From April, two years ago (in Newburgh, NY)
From July, one year ago (here in Gloucester):
I can’t wait to see what rainbows are in store for me this year! Let’s hope the weather starts getting nice enough to give us beauties like these from past years…

Alien invasion?
Doesn’t this look like an alien wearing a gas mask, sticking its head out of the wall?
Its body is apparently hiding in the basement of Central Grammar.

I’m Hooked on Photography!
These old hooks are in the rectory wall outside the back door. I don’t know what they are for… The bricks themselves are pretty old, and have developed interesting cracks on the ends, almost as if they were blocks of wood:
