This photo was taken in Newport, RI last summer. There was a lone fisherman on some rocks with waves crashing all around him. He must have been pretty dedicated because I am sure he got pretty wet as I remember a few of the waves got pretty close to him.

While hiking last fall I came upon some wild apple trees in the woods. Someone had put this apple on the tree like this and I found it interesting. It almost looked like the tree was holding the apple and offering it to passer byers. I decided to only leave the apple in color since I wanted that to be the focus of the photo.

It was a very busy day on Gloucester Harbor last Labor Day weekend when I took this photo as you can see. I found this interesting because every type of boat imaginable is in the picture. From speedboats, to fishing boats, sailboats, and in the distance dwarfing them all a giant warship. There is even a barge of some sort to the left. The term organized chaos comes to my mind seeing all these boats zooming around in every direction!

Here is a photo I took of the famous Union Oyster House in Boston. For those that don’t know it is the oldest restaurant in Boston and the oldest restaurant in continuous service in the United States (its been open since 1826). Since this is one of the oldest streets in the country I felt this picture would look more timeless once converted to black and white. Overall I am pretty happy with the results. The cobblestone streets and the old restaurants take you back in time even though the illusion is broken since you can see some people with modern items like plastic bags.

This tree was alone and above all the others overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee. I really like how the black and white conversion came out on this one.
