Waterfront Vistas

Today I’ll feature two photos – taken mere minutes apart, with a feel so different that you might not believe they were both taken on the same planet (nevermind on the same beach a few feet away).

The first photo was shot later in the evening once the sun had nearly fully retreated for the day.  The photo below was taken earlier in the evening, as I was struck by the interesting patterns the outgoing tide was creating in the sand.  It was a gorgeous night with all sorts of great colors in the sky and a nice serene feeling, which I think you can get in each photo despite their drastically different results.

Boston-Portsmouth Air Show

Boston – Portsmouth Air Show with the Blue Angels from Ron Risman on Vimeo.

The Boston-Portsmouth Air Show is in town all weekend!!  The incredible talents of the individuals flying the aircraft are beyond words as you’ll see in the video above.  Today’s post is a special one – the featured video was recorded and produced by a friend of mine, talented local photographer Ron Risman of Cinematic Stories (visit him at http://cinematicstories.com).

I’m planning to head over to Pease to take part in the madness on Sunday and see what I can do for photos of these amazing aircraft (that travel at ridiculous speeds only feet away from each other!).  For Saturday’s show I was lucky enough to see the Blue Angels flying overhead as I mowed the lawn and again later as I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the front patio. Looking forward to the opportunity to capture something new!  In the meantime, here’s an image to enjoy of our beloved waterfront and the Moran Towing tugboats.

Serene Reflections on the Piscataqua

The calmness of the Piscataqua River reflects the clouds of the summer sky and the trees along Peirce Island.

Piscataqua River Fog

A light misty fog hangs over the Piscataqua River on a late summer afternoon.  I loved the orange glow over the scene that the setting sun cast….viewed from a penthouse unit in the Ale House Inn building.

The Lonely Pier

Sunrise from the Commercial Fish Pier.  The sun is just about to make its first appearance for the day as seen over Four Tree Island from the Commercial Fish Pier.  I thought this quiet and empty dock was quite interesting in the morning’s calm…before any fishermen showed up to make use of it throughout the day.  I particularly liked the post at the end of the pier against the illuminated water…with the glow of the sun behind the trees in the distance.

New Show at The Gallery at 100 Market

I am pleased and honored to be able to share with everyone the following info about an upcoming show right downtown!  I had a blast selecting images to be included in this show, with some unique perspectives from town that you’ve seen here on the site….and made a point to highlight the Memorial Bridge as we don’t know how much longer it will be around for us to enjoy.  The gallery is located at 100 Market Street, the same building that houses The 100 Club, Banana Republic, Springers Jewelers, and various office users.  I can’t wait to visit the building and see the gorgeous and vibrant prints hanging on the walls…and only hope that others enjoy them as much as I enjoyed putting them together.

What: 11th Annual Summer Juried Exhibit

When: Friday, August 13th from 5-7pm

Where: 100 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801

Once again, Infinite Imaging did a fantastic job at delivering a high quality product in a very accelerated timeframe.   The following is an excerpt from the press release that went out this week!

“On August 13 The Gallery at 100 Market will open its eleventh “Summer Juried Exhibtion,” with an artist’s reception, from 5 to 7 p.m. The show features the work of two-dozen artists from throughout New England and will continue through November1.

“This is a theme-free show with a mix of mediums and subjects, a smorgasbord of visions and approaches,” says Michael Simchik, building owner and gallery sponsor. “And surprisingly enough, after more than a decade of exhibits, it’s the first time we’ll feature an artist whose work is focused on Portsmouth and its iconic images.”

Since it’s inception the alternative gallery has avoided all but the most unique images of the seacoast, giving preference to work less apt to find placement in commercial establishments. This time there will be nearly 20 Portsmouth images by Philip Case Cohen, who chronicles the seacoast for his popular blog The Daily Portsmouth. Each of his images will feature a unique path to and in honor of Portsmouth.”
