Boston Sunset

Boston, Massachusetts

This is from summer 2010. Photographed from a hotel near the bridge to Cambridge.......I was still playing with HDR at the time...whatever happened to HDR....

Made it to Carmel, Indiana yesterday - dinner with friends and past students last night - Indian Food.....always happy to catch up.....lots of talk about a location workshop next year - maybe the West Coast......

Packing the show today and off to Toledo tomorrow....I think Jamie Farr was from Toledo or maybe that was just in the Mash shows.....

I am slowly getting lost images back into the blog - the process will take weeks and weeks of tedious work. Actually am thinking about starting a newsletter instead....stay tuned...

Little Beach, Falmouth, MA

      Recently while in Death Valley I was totally captivated by mother nature's ability to draw, so to speak,  'lines in the sand'. If one was lucky enough to catch a stiff wind the night before the dunes would take on an entirely different persona from the day before. The footprints would disappear and the lines in the sand would form new patterns that appeared to be maps to some unknown treasure -  the actual treasure was being lucky enough to be out at sunrise to see the pristine shapes and lines that nature had bestowed on the  dunes overnight.
 

 Last weekend up on Cape Cod I had the same feelings at Little Beach located in Falmouth. Albeit I was there in the middle of the day (not the usually golden light photographers usually chase) the light created the most pleasing patterns in the wet sand just beyond the jetty that separates the bay from the ocean.

Makes one start thinking about.........

Cape Cod

Silver Beach - just after sunrise 

Just back from three days in Cape Cod - Woods Hole - Falmouth area of the cape.

I was lucky enough to have two good friends, Debbie and Dennis, to show me around - more like driving Mr Daisy if you ask me. Debbie is a painter and Dennis is a photographer (both excellent at their craft), and, I got the benefit of their two years on the Cape as they knew every nook and cranny on the island. Apparently, and certainly not something I was aware of before this weekend, the state of Massachusetts is a strong advocate of public access - therefore I was able to see some magnificent natural beaches and wooded areas. Not to mention being able to make a few decent photographs along the way.

Short post today - just installed Snow Leopard and having so many issues - thinking about going back to 10.5.8 - nothing works and crashes everywhere...
