Filey Bay

Glorious summer day on the Yorkshire Coast

Whitehorse Sunrise

I enjoyed returning time and time again to Whitehorse beach. Every time I saw something different. See the starting image below.

Menemsha Sunset

Menemsha is a fun place to visit at sunset. There were lots of people tailgating and just waiting for the sun to go down when I was there. See the starting image below.

Breakwater Stroll

Three Mile Harbor Evening

I haven’t been to Long Island in a while. Hopefully I’ll be back there this summer. See the starting image below.

Scituate Harbor Morning

There used to be a pair of these dinghies in Scituate Harbor. I wonder whether they are still there now. The looked like they would be fun to row or sail. See the starting image below.

Sunset at the Cape

I remember this evening distinctly – the end of a long day in November and just in time to catch the light. See what the un processed image looked like below.

Scituate Breakwater

I’m enjoying revisiting some my images and playing with them to learn more about Lightroom and Photoshop. See the image below to see where I stared.

Noticing What You’re Noticing

It’s been fun to visit the old digital neighborhoods as I turn the lights back on here.  As is often the case somethings are very much the same, other things are different and some are no longer.  Google appears to have shuttered Google+ – I wonder what that means for the communities that were heavily reliant on that platform.  Some of my favorite physical and digital magazines are still in operation – Lenswork to name just one, while others seem to have ceased publication.  Old friends and familiar voices are still working hard while others have retired.  Such is the nature of things.

My neighborhood here in Connecticut has a very different vibe to Boston.  The most immediate and obvious differences here are how hilly it is and it definitely feels that you’re in the middle of the woods. There are also many more rivers, streams and ponds than there were where I was on the South Shore of Boston.  I’m about 30 minutes from the coast but at the moment it feels much further.  I expect that this will have an impact on what I choose to photograph as i become more comfortable and settled here.

For now I’m content to not try to force things, preferring to ‘notice what I’m noticing’ and see where that takes me.  This is easy to say and hard to do.  It means quietening my thoughts, having no expectations and being open enough to let my sub-consciousness come through.  I feel like only when I get into this mode that I’m able to create something that is mine.

On Vacation

  
Taking some time to recuperate, regenerate and refresh over the summer. I hope you’re able to do the same. 

Back when the weather turns for the worse.
