A serene winter scene from last year on the seacoast in Rye, NH to kick off your weekend. I like the otherworldly sort of feel to it and the sense of calm and emptiness. Stay warm and enjoy!

Wentworth by the Sea Country Club
It’s been a very busy few months. Days have been full of working and planning, nights have been full of home renovations, all to get ready for our wedding day. Steph and I are overwhelmed with excitement for our big day, July 16th, where we’ll be getting married at the Wentworth by the Sea Country Club. This incredibly gorgeous and picturesque setting on the waterfront suits us perfectly.
Thanks to everyone for staying tuned here at The Daily Portsmouth – and I promise to get back to a regular schedule once things calm down, the house is finished, and we are happily married! Thanks to everyone who helped us get here, and to everyone who has made it so special.

Gus & Ruby | LETTERPRESS
In 2011 I’ll be starting a new series featuring the Storefronts of Portsmouth. Today’s image captures many things I love about Portsmouth. A quaint storefront of a local business, a richly painted entrance, a shop nestled up against others alongside, a brick sidewalk, the warm glow of a shop where you can meet people (not a robot on some website). Gus & Ruby Letterpress is a cool stationary and invitation boutique on Congress Street, which moved during 2010 from its former location of a little spot on Market Street near the salt piles. It’s always a great thing when a business needs to move to a bigger space in order to meet the needs of its customers…it means business is thriving. I had the chance to visit the shop a few months back, and loved how much detail and thought went into decorating the interior. I love capturing detail, though I’m not always the best at creating it – so it’s always fun to see what folks come up with. Stop in to see them sometime.

The Sagamore on Sagamore Creek
Saturday morning I was venturing around town with my camera and armed with the Hasselblad Zeiss glass. It is a 100mm lens…which means that the focal plane of the lens is much further than what I’m used to. I typically shoot in the 24mm range and love to shoot wider (meaning lower) whenever I rent a lens. That’s what helps me get so much information and so much landscape goodness in my typical scenes. When Steph and I ventured out running/cycling, I decided to stick with one lens – and brought the 100mm so I forced myself out of my comfort zone in an effort to sharpen my skills. I’m also currently experiencing some serious computer heartburn, so I’m not able to survey the majority of my shots – but I was happy to come away with this quintessential New England seacoast scene.
This boat, “Sagamore” is moored on Sagamore Creek….an inlet stream from the Piscataqua River inland from Portsmouth Harbor. Makes me want to hop on the boat and head out into the open ocean.

The Walkway | Portsmouth Harbor Light
Today’s images feature the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse located at Fort Constitution…as seen from the outside. (Earlier this week I featured the geometric beauty of the interior staircase). If you haven’t been – I can’t encourage you enough to catch one of the open houses…if for nothing else than to take a stroll and enjoy the view from the top of the structure…and marvel at the really old structure (that has a fresh coat of paint).

Latitudes | Wentworth Marina
As I’ve posted recently – the Wentworth Marina is a place where you can see yachts that are ridiculously large – see a gorgeous sunset, and enjoy a delicious meal with a view. Latitudes is perched just over the Wentworth Marina and is a great spot in New Castle to enjoy a meal out on a deck away from the throngs in downtown Portsmouth in case you’re in the mood for something a bit more laid back.

A Great Island Sunset | Whaleback Light
New Hampshire has the nation’s smallest coastline of any state with an oceanfront location. That doesn’t mean it lacks for anything – this shot taken from Great Island Common in New Castle depicts the state’s simple coastal beauty. The sun was setting at my back when I was snapping this shot, casting a soft glow on the horizon and over Whaleback Lighthouse off in the distance.
I though the rock formations were pretty cool and made for some interesting movement in the frame.
