Along the Way — June 1, 2026 — South Weymouth Naval Air Station

The Naval Air Station at South Weymouth opened in 1942 as a blimp base, built to run anti-submarine patrols along the North Atlantic coast during World War II. It closed for good in 1997. In between it was a lot of things — including, for a while, a holding lot for hundreds of recalled Volkswagen…
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.
Along the Way — April 26, 2026 — Webb Memorial State Park

A few frames from a recent walk at Webb Memorial State Park in Weymouth. Early signs of spring are starting to come through, bringing some color back into the shoreline and open spaces.
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.
The Yellow House on Grant Street

I was making my way through Weymouth the other afternoon and spotted this yellow house on the corner of Grant Street. The golden light was hitting the siding just right, and that sweeping curve in the road made it impossible to walk past without stopping for a frame.
Ordinary Glow

I’ve always been drawn to the way light can transform even the most ordinary corners. I saw this golden hour glow hitting the fence line and just wanted to capture how it felt in that moment.
Golden Hour Over the Old Base

The last light of the golden hour spilled across the old base of South Weymouth Air Station, highlighting empty roads, open fields, and the silent hangars that remain. What really drew me in was the sharp contrast between the white snow and the deep orange and yellow hues of the sunset. As the winter wind swept across…
A Snowy Afternoon at Webb Memorial

Stopped by Webb Memorial State Park in Weymouth after a recent snowstorm. Snow clung to everything, turning the park into a quiet, frozen world. I tried to find contrast in the scene among the uniform white, noticing shapes and textures I might normally overlook.
Spire and Sky

The Immaculate Conception Parish in Weymouth, Massachusetts, rises like a quiet spire against the sky. This roofline has always stood out to me—tapered and more intricate than it looks at first glance. Maybe that’s my construction background showing, but it’s a roofline I’ve wanted to photograph for some time.
Exploring South Weymouth Naval Air Station

Exploring South Weymouth Naval Air Station by foot and air offers a glimpse into the site’s rich history and ongoing transformation. The Naval Air Station South Weymouth operated as a U.S. Navy airfield from 1942 to 1997. The Navy initially established it during World War II as the nation’s key northeastern hub for blimps (lighter-than-air craft)…
Glory

Glory, the MBTA’s catamaran-style commuter ferry, moves swiftly through Weymouth’s Back River in the late afternoon light, with the Boston skyline softly visible in the distance. One of several high-speed ferries operated by the MBTA, it offers commuters a scenic and traffic-free ride between Boston and the South Shore.
Edge of Spring

With spring on the horizon, I snapped this scene at Weymouth Great Pond at sunrise, where the thaw is slowly starting to unfold.
