This Old House

I wanted to give a little glimpse of the soon to be new HQ of The Daily Portsmouth. This old Atlantic Heights home had original wallpaper and walking into the home was like stepping in to a time warp. Stay tuned for more updates in the next few months. I love Portsmouth because so many areas have such historic homes with fascinating backgrounds. The rich color of the wallpaper and floors together with some careful framing convey an interesting mood, complete with the random light from the unseen window behind the camera.

Historic Home Construction

I’m excited to share that the home office of The Daily Portsmouth will be moving! We’re in the process of renovating a historic home in Atlantic Heights that has kept us busy – but we are enjoying seeing how houses used to be made in the old days. Atlantic Heights was originally built to house shipbuilders in World War I that were building freighters to bring goods over to Europe. The war was over before the neighborhood was finished – and it’s had a storied history since then, and is now a great active community and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Stay tuned for periodic updates on our new home adventure – in the meantime, today’s image is from 2 weeks into the rehab project in one of the bedrooms.

Early Morning Light

One of my favorite things about the changing seasons is the range in temperatures that I always seem to forget about. Now that the fall is here…the morning temperatures can get quite chilly…which brings with it some rich morning light and fog. Here’s a nice scene from my stairwell.

During & After the Snow

In keeping with yesterday’s post, here are a couple fun shots from yesterday’s heavy snow storm. Above you can see the reflection of Market Street and the North Church in the glass of the storefront, along with some folks enjoying a stroll in the storm. Below you can see the moody sky after the snow quieted down for the night, as seen from my 2nd story window.

Railroad Tracks | Atlantic Heights

Portsmouth’s railroad (formerly part of the Boston & Maine Railroad) tracks run downtown from Islington Street, across Market Street and along the Piscataqua River all the way to Atlantic Heights and further on towards Public Service of New Hampshire’s power station (which can be seen generating a plume of smoke in the distance). The fresh snowfall, the blue sky that finally made its way out, and the cargo car made for a cool shot.

The power plant is located on the banks of the Piscataqua River and can also be seen in THIS POST from the summer, I highly suggest you check it out.

Scenes from Portsmouth | A Retrospective

I wanted to share with everyone a taste of the video footage that I’ve shot over the previous year during my voyages around town (be sure to view fullscreen in HD). This is all footage shot with my Canon 5d Mark II camera, which I’ve had for just under a year, and is capable of HD video…but unfortunately I’m still learning and don’t really know what I’m doing beyond the still shots. I had fun compiling the footage, which has been set to Vampire Weekend’s song “Run” from their new album Contra. Please drop a note and let me know your thoughts!

Today’s shots are a pair of sunrises from my stairwell in Atlantic Heights – the first shot (above) with an intense red glow and another more subtle, yet beautiful morning. I-95 can be seen in the distance.

Here’s a third shot from after the snow storm on January 18th once the sun made an appearance and the snow was still sticking to the trees.

Up at Dawn | Sunrise Under I-95

During sunrise, the first rays of sun peek out from just under the I-95 bridge from my window. I hadn’t seen this time of day in quite some time, I’m not usually awake until much later when the night sky is completely gone. This was a nice treat…maybe I’ll have to try it again soon.
