A Winter Doorway
A classic and chilling view of the doorway of a historic home in the South End after a fresh batch of snow.

Winter at Strawbery Banke
Don’t worry – this is an image from last winter. The snowstorm from this past weekend was a (painful) reminder of how close the cold and snowy days are on the horizon. With that in mind…I was visiting my archives and found this shot of the grounds of Strawbery Banke that I love. The rich wood textures make this shot for me. Hope you enjoy.

Footnotes
A portrait of a shoe store. That description doesn’t seem to fit the visual content of the photo for me…but it’s what it is. There isn’t anything tremendously eye catching or stunning about this photo, yet I find that I’m drawn to it. It’s captured winter and the effects of a storm, footprints in the unshoveled sidewalk, awning blowing in the wind, water spray on the windows, a desolate street and lonely parking meter, and a grey-washed sky to pull it all together. I love the location of the elements in the frame, and I’m happy with my composition here. It makes an otherwise simple portrait of a store into a storytelling opportunity, courtesy of some winter weather and some glass.

Winter Overtakes Sanders Fish Market
It has without question been a ridiculous New England winter…and this image of Sanders Fish Market on Marcy Street provides further evidence. The pastel buildings lining the waterfront along Marcy Street are a favorite of mine…and I especially like the fact that you can stroll into the market and pick up some fresh locally caught fish. The snow and the icicles make this frigid scene feel a bit less welcoming, but if you make the trip you won’t regret it.

Exeter Town Hall
Here’s a glimpse of Exeter, NH via its Town Hall located at the center of town…just as the snow flurries began to fly in January. Once again – this front porch area features a lovely light blue underside, just as the Wentworth By The Sea featured a couple months back in a shot posted from last summer. To me, this shot wouldn’t have been the same without it. A little flavor of a classic New England building in the heart of a perfectly New England setting.

Three Graces
This welcoming storefront belongs to Three Graces Gallery on Market Street downtown. The gallery’s location on Market Street usually gives it gorgeous sunsets, with rich intense rays of sunlight reaching down Hanover Street to hit the storefront for a few minutes before retiring for the day. The shop also has a gorgeous hanging sign, but there’s something about a straight on shot of a store with a good door that I can’t get enough of. More shots to follow of the hanging sign and of the window soaked in sunlight to follow another time… If you love art, do yourself a favor and stop in to see the one of a kind items featured in the gallery. Currently, the Teeny Tiny Art Show VIII is featured and well worth a visit.
