Another entry in the series The Doors of Portsmouth. This beautiful yellow home located in the South End features some nice granite steps leading to a cool door with a diamond window. I’m not up to speed on the technical terminology for the architecture, but I know that I enjoy it.
It was so warm out after work on Monday evening that I decided to watch a freighter come up the river and enjoy the sights of the waterfront for a while (and I wasn’t even wearing any gloves). Quite a beautiful night. I was particularly digging the reflection of the Eugenia Moran in the Piscataqua. This 3-exposure composition had a nice long exposure for the third shot so I was able to get some nice tones in the reflective water. The Decks were looking pretty sharp in preparation for their opening next month! More to follow on that later in the week.
If you’re reading this – you need to do both of us a favor. For yourself, you need to go enjoy the guest post I did over at the blog of fellow photographer Brian Matiash. For me, please go visit Brian and thank him for giving me such an awesome opportunity to open a new series for him that features fellow photographers in an open forum setting….I had my choice of topics to write about, and it became immediately clear that I had to incorporate Portsmouth as a theme. This great city is primarily responsible for getting me involved and passionate about photography all over again since buying my first digital camera last year. I hope you enjoy the post…and more importantly – go check out Brian’s work (it is stunning). Brian always captures the fascinating textures in everyday scenes that we all take for granted…I’m hoping to host Brian on a photowalk in the very near future – stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted!!
Spring is officially around the corner (I don’t want to stretch too far and say it’s here – and then end up with a blizzard)! On Saturday I ventured up to Ogunquit for a stroll along the Marginal Way with one very special lady. We had a perfect sunny afternoon, and I was happy to have some sunshine and warmth as a birthday gift. Here are a couple shots from the coastline during the late afternoon…I will definitely be heading back!
Also – a huge thank you to Fotomoto.com for making me the featured artist for March 7th!
Here’s the original shot:
Today’s post is dedicated to my very special mother and father. Birthdays usually revolve around people getting gifts or wishing you congrats on being another year older, but I’d like to take the opportunity to thank Mom and Dad for getting together 28 years and 9 months ago today and deciding to have me. Ever since then they have both been nothing but 1,000% supportive, caring, loving, thoughtful, insightful, funny, smart, willing to teach, willing to listen (all of this unconditionally) – and I always joke every year about making a point to thank them for going to such expense to make me – but I truly want them to know how incredible they are and how much it means to me that they’ve been the perfect parents for me in every way. Thanks for the birthday – I love you guys!
Today’s shots are of the Commercial Fish Pier as seen from Prescott Park and Strawbery Banke during the fall with some lovely foliage.
