No Snow, Just Cold and Ice!

After our trace of snow one morning, there has been nothing more to show for it!  One thing that has been holding its own of late has been the cold nights and believe it or not days that don't hit the 50's for high temperatures!  With the period of cold weather we have experienced the Harbor has started to take on some ice in a few spots!  This always makes for nice mood shoots I think around boats and other things when the opportunities present themselves.  If we could get some snow to go with the cold that would be even better, for now though this will have to do!  One thing to note also is that looking ahead to the February full moon on the 7th of the month I believe will make for a good shoot with the lighthouse as it will be in a similar position to the super moon shoot I took.  What makes it work is the fact that the moon will rise at 5:12 PM, and the sunsets that day at 5:04 so it will just be dark enough to make for a great shoot!  As is the case with any moon shoot you need the weather to work so we will just have to wait and see!

First Snow!

Well it took a lot longer then it should have, but we finally got a little snow and I do mean little.  I went back to a spot down on Jericho road where some boats have been beached for the winter that made for a decent setting.  Then I went up to the Common where there was a few good takes!  I will try and get a few more on the site latter tonight!

Holidays Come and Go.....

Sorry for not posting in well jezzz over half a month!  After the flying Santa things got crazy with the holiday rush and all that good stuff!  I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season with family and friends!

As we move into the new year I wish you all the best!  I am very excited to continue to grow as a photographer and when the time permits go to new and exciting places!  I have a few photos to share with you, one new one and a few that are just reworked in a little different manner which I hope you enjoy!

Flying Santa comes to Scituate!

Yesterday Santa made a trip to Scituate, no not by sleigh, train, boat, but rather helicopter!  More information can be found at the Friends of Flying Santa website, and if you have some time you should read the history portion as it is actually really a cool thing!

I'm hopeful that we might see some snow before the holiday, as I have a few shoots in mind that I think would be awesome!  In the mean time I might try and sneak out and get a few more shoots in the next few weeks, I do have a lot to do in order to get ready for the holidays!  As you can imagine this involves a fair amount of printing etc....  One other thing that might be on the horizon is greeting cards!  With the help of a friend I have looked into greeting cards, which will be available shortly if it works out!  I'm getting some I hope by Tuesday of this week and I'm going to attempt holiday cards for the family!  These won't be available this year, but I hope to have them for sale come next Heritage Days!

Starting to look like Christmas

I was out and about yesterday and like anytime I go down through the Harbor I always take a look out toward the lighthouse how could you not?  It by far and away is my favorite spot to just go and get away from all the stress that life brings! Sometimes people say why are you such a weather nut, I mean who likes cold and snow!? Well I do and most know that, but it is really something special to go down to the lighthouse during a storm, I recommend going at night for the best effect! Just take a moment or two and take it all in, the sound of the powerful winds and surf crashing along the coast and the snow hitting you in the face what could be better! Well to many I guess a lot of things but to me, well it just does not get any better!

The point of this post however is why it might not feel like Christmas yet, it is starting to look like it and the lighthouse has been decked out for the holidays! I like how it is nothing crazy just 2 simple wreaths!

Heading Into Winter!

We are finally rounding the bend and heading into my favorite time of the year, winter!  Though it has not even felt like fall of late, so where is winter?  I think it might take a while to see the true signs of winter, but if you like cold and snow which I do I think it will be worth the wait!  In the mean time I have taken advantage of the pleasant mornings, where I don't have to worry about freezing in attempts to capture some photos!

Back At It!

Sorry for the lack of post in November!  I had an event lined up on November 17th and a lot of time was spent the in the beginning of the month preparing for it.  The event was put on by an organization known as campus of caring.  There goal was to raise money to build a hospice home on the South Shore.  The event was held at the Scituate Country Club and was a nice thing to be a part of!  I had the chance to meet new folks who had nice things to say about my work to them I say thank you!

I have a few photos that I have managed to grab in the past few weeks I just thought I would post them and I am going to try and get out more in the next few weeks!
