Postcards from Scituate Town Pier

A postcard moment from a calm afternoon at the Scituate Town Pier, with working boats tied up and the harbor sitting still under clear light. A small slice of salt air and sunshine to share. A little about the pier… Scituate Town Pier is one of those places that still feels like a real working…
Acushnet

The Acushnet tug in the last light of sunset in Hull, Massachusetts.
Solstice Sunrise in the Seaport District

Just a few days ago, I returned to the harbor for sunrise. It is a walk I have taken many times, but this morning felt more meaningful because it happened to be the winter solstice. The solstice is the shortest day and the longest night of the year, and the sun reaches its lowest arc…
Sunrise at the Waterfront

During a short walk around Fan Pier Marina at sunrise, I captured a few views as the golden hour light transformed the Boston Waterfront. This was the kind of light every photographer dreams of—soft, warm, and fleeting over the harbor.
Autumn Landing

Autumn arriving at Howland’s Landing in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Boats off the water and the landing settling into the quieter months ahead.
The Industrial Glow

Here’s a shot from my San Francisco and California series that almost slipped through the cracks—a bright red-and-white Manson crane, standing still against the Bay Bridge during golden hour. The way it stood out against the sky gave this industrial scene an unexpected calm. What struck me most, though, was how no one else seemed…
Across to Sausalito

While exploring the Bay Area by car, a short lunch stop in Sausalito gave us a quiet moment by the water. Time was short, but I captured a few glimpses of the harbor and hills before we carried on. Part of my San Francisco and California photo series.
Shelf Cloud Over Cohasset Harbor

Shelf cloud rolling into Cohasset Harbor yesterday afternoon as a strong storm passed through the South Shore. I had the opportunity to take my drone up and capture both the harbor and the quiet moments before the storm. From above, the water was still and the boats steady, but the dark line of the cloud…
Harbor Break

A man sits by the dock, taking a quiet break as he casts a line into the water during sunset in Hull, Massachusetts. Out in the harbor, a few fishing and leisure boats float by, soaking up the last light of the day.
Dockside Palette

Colorful paddle boards and dinghies lined up in Hull, Massachusetts, ready for a day on the water.
Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse at Sunrise

I woke up today and decided to head to Cohasset in an attempt to catch a sunrise. It had been a while since I was last out for a sunrise shoot, mostly because, in the summer, the sun rises early. Really early. Around 5:00 AM, give or take. But today felt like the right day…
Seaport Shadows

An early morning in Boston’s Seaport. Walking across and beneath the Moakley Bridge, watching shadows stretch across Fort Point Channel, the old Northern Avenue Bridge, the Boston Harbor Hotel waterfront, and the Tea Party Museum before the city stirs.
