Gloucester Light

Gloucester seems to inspire a natural desire in people to capture the light and the beauty and the sense of place that is a part of living here. In recent months a few blogs have begun by local bloggers who post wonderful photography on their sites. I thought this might be a good time to share a few:

Captain Joe's Good Morning Gloucester: Captain Joe is the owner of Capt. Joe and Sons Lobster Company out on East Main Street. Joe is up in the wee hours of the morning and, as he drives about his morning routine, he photographs Gloucester. He has also done a spectacular job of documenting the working waterfront from which he makes his living. He also posts daily information on restaurants, artwork, and other items of interest in Gloucester. This is an excellent resource for people planning to visit here!

Jay Albert's Cape Ann Images: Jay is the best --- a great guy with a great eye for the beauties of our region and a camera always at the ready. He is the photographer who did such a great job of photographing the terrible fire we had here in December. Visit his blog for many excellent photos of our beautiful area.

JimB's Galleries of Birds and Bugs: Jim Barber is amazing when it comes to photographing birds and bugs. His galleries cover dragonflies, all manner of birds, sunrises and sunsets and more. He also has an online discussion group for bird lovers called For the Birds.

Les Bartlett's Follow the Gleam: Les is an artist with the camera. His artistry was the subject of a recent exhibition at Cape Ann Historical Museum. He has many prints for sale as well as DVDs of Cape Ann images. Les was once a performer with Le Grand David, the popular magic show in Beverly, MA. He is also a member of Cape Ann Artisans.

There are several other bloggers I'll talk about at another time but for now that should keep you busy. In the meantime, here are a couple more examples of Gloucester Light:
