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…
Sunrise from the BU Bridge

A cold February morning, the Charles River mostly frozen as the skyline slowly caught the first light. From the BU Bridge, the city felt still. Steam lifted from rooftops as the sun broke between the buildings, sending a sharp burst of gold across the ice before the light softened. I stepped about ten feet onto…
Blue Hour from the Other Side of Boston

This weekend, I headed to East Boston to catch first light along the harbor. I started at Lewis Mall Wharf, hoping the early sun would light up the skyline. That was the shot I had in mind. Clean reflections and warm light hitting the glass. It never really happened. The clouds held, and the city…
Along the Way – February 5, 2026

Even with the landscape still buried in snow, we’ve been fortunate to have nearly daily sunshine since the storm. This afternoon, I took the chance to enjoy some of it on a walk through Ames Nowell State Park in Abington.

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.

Captured along the Hull coastline during a brutal cold snap. When the humidity drops and the mercury hits zero, the light takes on a certain sharpness. Worth the numb fingers.
Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary — Winter Haze

Last weekend, during a small snow event, I headed over to Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary in Marshfield to capture a hint of winter. I’ve visited many times before, but I’ve always wondered what those wide-open fields would look like covered in snow. The storm didn’t quite deliver—only a few flurries actually stuck—but the flat, grey…
Along the Way — Marina Bay

From an early walk through Marina Bay in Quincy, Massachusetts, under overcast skies. Quiet water, muted tones, and an unhurried pace along the docks. Taken January 18, 2026, just a bit behind posting.
Along the Way – January 19, 2026

With another snowstorm expected tomorrow, these moments from the January 19th storm came to mind. Snow blanketed the South Shore, transforming familiar landscapes into quiet, frozen scenes. I headed out toward the end of the storm with my camera, capturing snow-heavy treelines, coated power lines, and the high-contrast, monochrome look that had settled across town.
