I was sent this link about how to sail under a bridge and it occurred to me that I should show how it’s actually done.

Your pictures taken from the last sail 2011 on the Mary Day are awesome. I can picture them on the cover of a magazine or a vacation advertisement as they look so inviting & relaxing. I was on the same sail and I saw the same things first hand… yet your photos have captured the beauty in a way that my own eyes did not see… they are simply brilliant.

I WENT ON THE MARY DAY FOR A WEEK ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. ALTHOUGH THE SHIP LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN TOTALLY OVERHAULED THE SCENEARY IS THE SAME. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, I CAN FEEL THE RELAXATION!!

Thanks very much Linda and Sandy. Yes, Sandy, I suspect she’s changed a bit over 40 years. She’s almost 50 years old now, launched in 1962.

Jim,
I love the shot of you lying in the water shooting the can!!! One of the things I teach in my workshops is to stop shooting everything from the same position.
So many students shoot at the same height. By coincidence, it’s where their eyes just happen to be. I’ll have to direct them to this photo!!!

Yep, I agree but that’s not me. I took the picture partly because I also appreciate it when people go the extra mile. I remember hearing years ago, a photographer saying, “Who shoots sports the best? Sports Illustrated. What do they do different from everybody else? They get up higher and down lower. They use the longest lenses and the shortest lenses.” In other words, they’re looking for extreme picture, the one beyond what everybody else is getting.
Words to live by.
And by the way, that’s not a can. It’s a plastic garden gnome. This is a guy from Tennessee who takes this gnome wherever he goes (hiking, biking, on vacation, etc.) and photographs it in those places. It was fun to have it along on the trip, though it freaked the captain out a bit. -

No CommentsI don’t do much print design anymore, but the Camden Civic Theatre posters are fun (pro-bono) job that I love.
It’s always a good challenge for me to summarize the spirit of a show in a single letter- or tabloid-size page. And make people want to come. And give the essential data in a clear and concise way. All so that someone passing by the poster on the way into the supermarket might be stopped by it long enough to consider going and absorb important details.
So Dirty Work at the Crossroads is coming up next month. I shot the photo and designed the poster.

I finally got around to editing the photos I made last week on the Mary Day. Also, don’t miss the Mary Day video I made the same week.

Oh, I do so want to go again on the Mary Day. Thanks, Jim, for sharing your great photos. Can’t remember the exact year I went (2004?) but it’s been too long!

I’m new to video and still make plenty of mistakes (you can actually hear me breathing in some of this). But even with my flaws, I think this gives a pretty good idea of what it’s like to spend some time on a Maine windjammer.

So beautiful! And I remember the island with the funny treetop, too. It was an awesome trip.

These views of the Breakwater are exquisite. Living only a couple miles away, we take a walk to the lighthouse several times a year. I have never seen the line and texture of the platform and railings quite like you capture them. I love the texture throughout. Nice work.

Quite wonderful! Attempts to harness and control nature can sometimes be quite beautiful. You captured the human vs. nature very nicely. Thank you.
