Quiet Evening at Squantum Point Park, Quincy, MA

Squantum Point Park sits at the end of a peninsula in Quincy, tucked behind Marina Bay. You follow the road all the way out and the park feels removed from the rest of the city. My wife and I weren’t planning much. We wanted somewhere to walk the dog. The light kept improving after we arrived,…
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…
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…
Along the Way — April 28, 2026 — Nantasket Beach

A few frames from the following afternoon at Nantasket Beach in Hull, along a different stretch of coastline. The light is never quite the same here, which is part of what keeps me coming back. Strong wind moved across the beach, with a light fog and mist in the air that softened everything. I made…
Along the Way — April 27, 2026 — Pemberton Point, Hull

On April 27, 2026, the weather was everything spring should be on the South Shore—mild air, a light coastal breeze, and perfectly clear skies. I headed out toward Hull for sunset, as I’ve done many times before. By now I’ve been there often enough to know when it’s worth the drive. This was one 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.
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.
Along the Way — April 12, 2026 — Duxbury Beach

Busy with work lately, so I’m a bit behind on posting, but I’m back with another entry in the Along the Way series. This time, a sunrise outing at Duxbury Beach. On my last visit, the bridge had been closed for maintenance, but this time it was open and I was able to drive across…
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…
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…
A Frozen South Shore Drive

The snow hasn’t loosened its grip yet, and the South Shore remains frozen. With hiking off the table, I kept it simple and took a slow drive along the coast. Taken on an afternoon drive through Cohasset and Scituate.
