Sunrise Over Wollaston Beach

Having lived most of my life in Quincy, I’ve watched the sunrise over Wollaston Beach in every season. The quiet shoreline, the shifting colors, and the way the light breaks across the water always remind me why I keep coming back. This autumn has been unseasonably warm, and maybe that’s why the colors felt especially…
First Light at Minot Beach

A few shots from the first light bathing Minot Beach in Scituate, Massachusetts. The sky put on a show with shifting colors as the sun rose above the horizon. I even spotted a couple going into the frigid water for an early swim.
The Industrial Glow

Here’s a shot from my San Francisco 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 to notice.…
Late Summer Light at Duxbury Beach

The last days of summer look different on Duxbury Beach than they do in July. The pace slows, the air cools, and the sand stretches out quiet and wide. On one of those evenings, I headed there with my wife and our dog to walk the shoreline and catch the fading light. Duxbury Beach is…
Sunset Watch at Scituate Lighthouse

Last evening I headed down to Scituate Light after the forecast promised interesting clouds at sunset. It’s a place I always return to, my favorite spot to photograph, where each visit feels different depending on the sky and tide. The clouds stretched across the horizon, though the promised drama never fully arrived, catching only a…
Golden Gate Horizons

As my San Francisco series comes to a close, it feels fitting to end with the Golden Gate Bridge. Photographing and walking this iconic structure had long been a dream of mine, and finally experiencing both was unforgettable. My wife and I began the day at the Visitor Center, taking in its history and sweeping…
A Stop at Muir Woods Overlook

After leaving Point Bonita, we made a quick stop at Muir Woods Overlook along the coastal drive. The pull-off sits high above the Pacific, with a wide, unobstructed view of open water stretching to the horizon. There isn’t much to see in the way of landmarks — just the ocean and the sky meeting in…
Bright Skies Over Point Bonita Lighthouse

Our visit to Point Bonita Lighthouse was amazing, even with the limited hours and harsh midday sun. While exploring Muir Woods National Monument, we realized we had a bit of time to spare and that Point Bonita was just a few minutes away. A park ranger greeted us and gave a brief history before opening…
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.
Off Duty Sunrise

A lifeguard chair rests empty in the pastel light at Sandy Beach in Cohasset, soon to be surrounded by the sounds of summer.
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…
