My first real digital camera was a Canon Powershot G1. 3MP of fun. I
still have it and use it on job sites on occasion. No filters, no ND
filters, just catching the sun in Harbor Town on Hilton Head at the
right time. We vacationed there for years in a row when the kids were
young. Love that place. Enjoy.
I'm having a hard time grappling with this one!
These things are
very large and intimidating, knowing they lift things up and put them
down. I mean really, really, heavy things. Enjoy.
This is pretty cool. I'm working with a company called Community
Connection, our local phone book company to provide cover photos for a
handful of their 2012 phone books around Massachusetts. It started out
with my town, Medford. It looks like I'll be doing other cities and
towns as well. This is my first one. - A photo of the Mystic River in
Medford Square. Enjoy.
The Wheels of Life keep rolling on.
Actually, these are some
rusty ball bearing type rollers on a seldom used conveyor. Loved the
pattern and specular quality they had. Enjoy.
I don't have the luxury of taking tons of photos with gorgeous models, so when my daughter has her girlfriends over, I coax them into a photo shoot. This is my daughter's good friend from across the country who came in December to visit during the holidays. The weather was very crappy, rainy, overcast, misty, and foggy, so I brought a reflector down by the Mystic River, and made the best of the giant soft box from the sky. I'm lucky all her girlfriends love the camera. Enjoy.
Lately, I'm in this kick wherein I look every day to see what nature has
left me to photograph over night. A 2" snowfall on the patio outside
my office left these patterns of snow mounds between the brick pavers
and sand joints. Only possible because they retain heat differently.
Waiting for the sun to melt off the thin spots and leave the snow hills.
Enjoy.
We've all seen ice sculptures, but this is natures way of painting the
water. This is ice on the Mystic River that seldom forms unless it's
below 15 degrees. It looks like it was painted by the guy from PBS with
the giant afro and soft voice. Remember that guy? He always painted
those pristine, yet fake landscapes from nowhere. I loved watching him.
I can hear him describing his techniques on this one. Enjoy.
We finally had our first snow in New England. I wouldn't call it much
of anything, but I thought I'd post this pic of the Mystic River from
one of last year's snowstorms to get us in the mood for more. It's
going to be 45 today, so it won't last long. Enjoy.
A beautiful old train station converted into a senior center here in
Medford. I just love the hand hewn wood columns that evoke the feeling
of a tree. Also the rusticated stone treatment on the facade. So glad
they didn't tear this gem down. Enjoy.
North End, Boston. I used a filter in Photoshop on an HDR photo to give
it a painterly look. Mikes Pastry is a famous pastry that, as you can
see, is quite popular with the tourists. Enjoy.
I pick things up and put them down!
Yea, this looks
like a lot of wheels, but this is the small version of the machine that
lifted the 800 Ton bridge a few weeks back. This machine is specially
made in Germany for heavy construction lifting. The other unit had 120
wheels, each individually operated by computer. Each wheel can turn 45
degrees and lift hydraulically about 24". It moves really, really slow,
but it lifts things that the largest cranes in the world can't lift.
It's pretty cool. Enjoy.
Central Park last Fall. How is this possible it's in the middle of the greatest city in the world? Enjoy.
This is a struggling dandelion that bloomed earlier in the week. This
is blasphemy having dandelions in the yard on January 1, we are supposed
to have snow. Enjoy.
