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…

Morning Calm Over the Marsh

Driving toward Minot Beach at first light, I came across this stretch of marsh in Scituate lit with shifting color. The horizon glowed orange while the sky above deepened into blue — a gradient that lasted only minutes before the sun arrived. Even a brief moment like this, glimpsed from the side of the road,…
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…
Driftlight

The smoke from Canadian wildfires was noticeable along the Scituate coast a couple days ago. It muted the sky, softened the sun, and gave everything a warm, amber-orange glow.
