July so far

No big message here just what I've seen around here the past few weeks. So I'm going to show some pics, and a caption below.
Every year we have the Blackburn Challenge. No matter what's going on in life, my heart jumps when I see folks on about every human-powered craft known doing a clockwise lap around Cape Ann. Individuals and teams, it's an annual new story about people. I'm stoked that despite it all things like this still thrive. I can't wait to see how the film rolls turn out.

Jon and Karen on a Grand Banks dory. Made me miss Crossfit Cape Ann.

Outrigger canoes!

Supping around Gloucester Harbor - An International 210. Stop to shoot on a SUP, and you go from a deck pic (above) to a keel pic (below) without even knowing it.

Look it has a hatchet fin!

Sneaking a few tiny ones in the 93° heat? Not even close.

Everyone loves the sunshine.

That's all, folks, thanks for lookin'!

Hive Cape Ann Blowout

thanks Jon & Karen!

From their website:

"The Hive seeks to build community by providing a space for arts exploration, cross-pollination of ideas and promoting creative and active lifestyles on Cape Ann.

We are a pretty diverse crew, ranging both in our artistic styles as well as our passions. However, we find common ground in our vision to unite the creative & active community and make Cape Ann a more unique place.

Why?
For a place that has such a rich history with the arts, sometimes it feels like the current scene is much too focused on traditional fine art and is lacking on support for new mediums. Our gallery at The Hive sprouted from the fact that we have so many local friends doing interesting work, without a clear venue to show it."
