234 Berkeley

234 Berkeley Street in Boston before sunrise. Arriving early on the weekend made it possible to capture this shot with no one around.
Weir River Farm

Made a quick stop today at the Weir River Farm in Hingham, Massachusetts during sunset. Operated by the Trustees of Reservations, Weir River Farm serves as a working farm and conservation area. Visitors can enjoy various activities such as hiking, picnicking, and exploring the farm’s grounds. The farm is also home to a variety of…
Minot Beach at Sunrise

My previous attempts to capture Minot Beach at sunrise were unsuccessful by the relentless tidal waves and the bitter cold during the winter. However, with the arrival of warmer weather, I ventured out this Sunday morning armed with knowledge from the tidal chart. As the dawn light gradually transformed the sky into a canvas of…
Nut Island Fishing Pier

The Nut Island Fishing Pier is great spot for sunrise and sunset views. Located at the very end of Quincy, in the Hough’s Neck peninsula, the pier offers panoramic vistas of the sun rising and setting over the shimmering waters of Boston Harbor.
Sunrise in Hull, MA

On this Easter Sunday, I found myself in Hull, eagerly awaiting the sunrise. My go-to spot to witness its beauty is at the start of Nantasket Beach, overlooking Long Beach Rock. As expected, it was a breathtaking sight that never fails to impress.
Lobster Boats at Scituate Harbor

Three lobster boats rest peacefully anchored in Scituate Harbor just before sunrise. I used black and white to highlight their intricate details, with the soft morning light bringing out their textures and shapes.
Chicago: An Architectural Journey

I recently had the chance to explore Chicago, and wow, the city’s architecture completely blew me away. Every building seemed to have its own story, and it made my time there even more amazing. Walking around, I couldn’t help but keep looking up at the skyline. The mix of styles in the city really reflects…
Nauset Light

Nauset Light has stood proudly since 1877, witnessing centuries of maritime history along the Atlantic coast. Originally located in Chatham, it was moved to Eastham in 1923 due to erosion concerns. The lighthouse served as a vital navigational aid, guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters around the Cape. Its distinctive white and red stripes…
Duxbury Pier Lighthouse

The Duxbury Pier Lighthouse stands majestically at sunset. To capture these photos, my wife and I drove to the end of Plymouth Long Beach and walked the rest of the way. From there, I flew my drone about half a mile to the lighthouse while maintaining visual line of sight. We delighted in watching a…
Driftway Conservation Park

Sunset at Driftway Conservation Park in Scituate. What looks like a peaceful tidal river has an interesting past — in the 1930s, Boston Sand and Gravel mined the property and used the wharf to barge sand to Boston for projects including Logan International Airport. The old wharf pilings are still there at low tide.
Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary: A Sunny Day Stroll

A sunny day stroll through the Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary in Marshfield, Massachusetts, provides a refreshing escape. After nearly two weeks of relentless clouds and rain, it felt wonderful to soak up the sun’s warmth once again.
