Marblehead

Here are a few shots from Marblehead, MA. It was a gorgeous day out, as you can see.

Jerry Schwarzenegger - This shot is named after the horrible Arnold impersonation I refuse to stop doing. Jerry is so used to hearing me speak Arnold-lounge that he subconsciously posed as him in this shot. I casually aimed my camera accordingly and yelled out, “Jerry, you aaaa supa powaful!” as I snapped a few before he had the chance to escape.

Non-fiction
Non-fiction
Meet Melissa. Melissa loves Harry Potter, beaches, and doing mean things to rats in her lab. I can forgive the rat torture, but I’m still trying to understand the Harry Potter obsession. I’ll admit I’ve seen the movies, but I have never read the books, despite all the rave. I have a theory that the pages are laced with some sort of drug that keeps people reading regardless of how much their eyes hurt. Something must have caught Melissa’s eye in this photo long enough to release her from her spell as she enjoyed a little bit of non-fiction from the beautiful day.

This shot is a panoramic view of kayakers coming into the harbor after what must have been a beautiful morning spent sea kayaking. It sort of reminds me of a biker gang… but in the water, less the noise, ridiculous haircuts, and police in tow. I’m not sure if this was for a special occasion or if it is some sort of club, but either way it definitely made me want to put down my camera for a while and grab a kayak of my own.

Rocky Decision
Rocky Decision
Here’s Jerry after he realized the tide was coming up. He is slightly alarmed mainly because he doesn’t know how to swim. Like many decisions we face in life, this one is a bit rocky. There appears to be more than one correct path, but if our friend Jerry doesn’t decide soon, he will face the same fate as the rocks beneath him. Time is of the essence, be as decisive as you can.

Photographer Photographed

Creative name, I know. This shot is from a while ago - the composition is sort of poor, but I like it for some reason. I think because this is usually how I look when I’m trying to figure out what to shoot. I do smile, but only once I’ve figured it out. :)

Next, for fear of my roommate killing me, I must say here that it is him who took this shot with his Canon XTI. I did the post processing because he had no idea what he was doing with the white balance. That being said, I suppose he’s a pretty ok photographer (sorry buddy that’s all the credit I can give ;-) ). You can find his work here.

East Boston - Sunset

I don’t have much time to write these days with my classes starting up, so you’ll have to excuse my brevity in some of these later posts… it won’t last long I promise. I went to East Boston with my roommate 2 days ago to take some photos of the sunset and Boston at night. We were about 30 seconds too late to see the actual sun set, as clouds decided to cover it just as I set up my tripod… damn you Murphy’s law. These two shots are from the sunset - more night shots from this location to follow soon. Enjoy!

Hull Beach: Part 1

Most people wouldn’t go to the beach on an overcast day to take pictures, but I’m not one to follow conventions. Before I present the photos, I’d just like to thank my friends for having the patience (except for Mike) to sit in the car for an hour while I dragged them to the beach… many songs were sang, poorly. You may find some of these shots bleak, but the place itself is still beautiful, it just needs a little more sun to look happy. Hint: The best shots are at the bottom.
