Golden Hour at Weir River Farm

I drove by Weir River Farm while I was in the area and stopped for a few photos. The entrance off East Street is one I pass often, and the late afternoon light was lining up just right. Weir River Farm is a Trustees of Reservations property in Hingham along the Weir River. It’s still…
Afternoon at Norris Reservation in Norwell

I stopped by Norris Reservation in Norwell recently for a hike and ended up taking far more photographs than expected. The afternoon conditions were excellent, and there were interesting scenes throughout this scenic reservation that were hard to walk past. Managed by The Trustees of Reservations, it features a network of trails through woodland and open landscape, making…
Barn and Pasture at Little Acres

We pulled into the John Little Conservation Area lot and the farm across the street caught our eye before we even got out of the car. Cedar shakes, a gambrel roof, a hay sign on the barn door. We walked over. The Herefords noticed us too. Little Acres Farm, Union Street, Marshfield.
Along the South Shore: Scituate to Cohasset

A recent afternoon drive along the South Shore, with stops at Conservation Park, Scituate Harbor, Egypt Beach, Minot Beach, and Cohasset Harbor. The weather could not have been better. Mid-80s in May, calm water, and not a cloud in sight. Driftway Conservation Park A quiet spot to start. My dog loves this place, and on…
Late Afternoon at Aaron River Reservoir

Aaron River Reservoir sits on the eastern edge of Wompatuck State Park, accessible off Beechwood Street in Cohasset, and it doesn’t get nearly the attention of the bike trails or the main entrance off Union Street in Hingham. That’s part of what makes it worth the drive. I got there mid-afternoon on a weekday and…
Peddocks Island Chapel

I made the trip to Pemberton Point with one thing in mind — Peddocks Island Chapel. The light was perfect. Built in 1941 as a non-denominational military chapel, it served Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish services for soldiers and their families at Fort Andrews — and later as a place of worship for Italian prisoners of…
The Untold Story

Every person has a story, and I couldn’t help but wonder about the untold chapters belonging to this man as he sat perfectly still overlooking the water.
A Quiet Morning on the Longfellow

I was eager to get out for another sunrise walk, and the Longfellow Bridge turned out to be the right place to spend my Saturday morning. It has always fascinated me how, in some cities, there’s a narrow window where they feel like they belong to no one in particular. A brief stretch of time…
Sunset at Bare Cove Park

Just a few frames during a sunset walk through Bare Cove Park in Weymouth. Between the cold air and constant wind, I didn’t linger for long., but I managed to capture these as the sun started to dip below the horizon. I’m looking forward to getting back out here once the weather actually breaks.
Evening Light at Damon’s Point

Evening light at Damon’s Point in Marshfield, Massachusetts. The afternoon light out there is something else — especially as it gets closer to sunset. It’s quiet, the marsh opens up, and it just feels like a good place to be. This particular evening we had some company. A few harbor seals were hanging around the…
Returning to Plymouth Jetty

A few photos from a return trip to the Plymouth Jetty and historic Leyden Street during a recent photo walk. I keep coming back for the simple composition of the jetty and the way the light settles across the harbor, especially when the water is still. I’ve photographed this view before, but the light is…
Scituate Harbor After the Blizzard

The morning after the Blizzard of ’26, I headed to Scituate Harbor for sunrise and high tide. I had a simple goal: catch what remained of the storm’s energy and put my new Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S a proper field test. On the way to Scituate Town Pier, I paused at a familiar…
