Good Clouds

Sometimes all you need is to stand by some water and take in the beauty that surrounds it.

Sky

Driving down the road one day, I was preoccupied by the drama of the clouds, so I pulled over into the high school parking lot, grabbed my camera, and took four quick shots before the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and the moment was gone. It was the contrast in colors that attracted me so much to these clouds -- the blue, the black, the dark grays, the white.

Gloucester, Mass.

I went on a business trip to Gloucester, Mass., recently and photographed this beautiful Victorian home right on the Ipswich Bay. I had taken similar images in the morning when the sky was completely clear, but luckily I came back to this spot in the late afternoon and re-photographed the house when the clouds had rolled in and the sunlight was starting to fade, which created an interesting mood. It was bitterly cold and windy, but I'm glad I braved the elements for the re-shoot.
