  1. A couple of kilometres out on a kayak.
    Not alone.
    Behind me, across the bay, seal song sounded out from the caves.

    Not for the first time, from somewhere a butterfly fluttered by, heading towards the shore. For what seems an impossible adventure.

  6. Hype for the Future 169E: Is Florida Caribbean?

    Introduction Society often expects the State of Florida to be described as a peninsular state with the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, but why? Isn’t there also the Caribbean Sea in the area? Caribbean Definition Usually, the Caribbean refers to the insular areas of the Caribbean Sea and not to the mainland. These are often independent nations, though dependencies and overseas territories are also associated with the region. Sometimes, even the South […]

  7. Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

    An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

    They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

  8. Hype for the Future 69J: New York and Philadelphia Compared

    Introduction New York and Philadelphia are two of the most substantially populated cities in the Northeast Megalopolis and specifically within the Mid-Atlantic portion of the region. While New York is further north and largely associated with the old New Amsterdam and significant Dutch settlement, Philadelphia is located somewhat further south, along the Delaware River, and traditionally identified as New Sweden prior to Dutch control of the former region as part of the Mid-Atlantic region […]

  15. Hype for the Future 64F: Boothbay Area, Maine

    Introduction The Towns of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are largely associated with the summer season, both along the Atlantic Ocean with Boothbay slightly further inland (north) within Lincoln County, Maine. Though Monhegan Island and its associated plantation may be more accessible from Knox County to the east, the island area is also considered part of Lincoln County, albeit separately identified from the Boothbay communities. Boothbay Harbor is situated to the south of Boothbay and is […]

  19. The funny thing about surfing is that the practitioners seem to spend more time like this than...well, actually surfing. But we love them anyway. My capture of a summer's day in Ericeira, "Surf's Down".

  20. Morning Photos

    Finally! The sky was clear at sunrise on a weekend. I took four, count ’em four, cameras out with me. My digital, Nikon Z5, my two 35mm, Dad’s Pentax K1000 and my Nikon FG-20, and my new/ebay medium format experiment, Lomo Lubitel 166 Universal.

    The 35mm cameras each had a roll already started. My goal was to finish them off. The Lubitel… what the hell, Robert. I’ve had the camera for months and had not completed even a single test roll. I had already messed up the first roll by over advancing it once and blowing a shot, and then flashing the film when the camera back popped open on its own once. My goal was to finish that roll and then put a second roll through and hope that something worked on one of them enough to let me know if the camera actually works or not. Besides all of that film fun, I just wanted to take a bunch of pics with my Z5 because it’s super fun.

    I completed all of those goals. I now have four rolls of film to develop. I’ll place an order today and ship them out tomorrow. The two 120 rolls were fucked up even more than I already knew. I didn’t have any trouble with the second one… or so I thought. The camera can be setup to shoot in 6×6 format or in 4.5×6. I was using the 4.5×6 numbers for advancing the film after each (well… most… there are going to be a bunch of double exposures because I am too stupid to operate a manual camera, I guess) but upon further review, the camera is clearly set up to shoot a square format… so every single shot is going to overlap. Moron.

    Anyway… here are a bunch of digital pics.

    Hampton Beach, NH at sunrise!

    These are from a spot in North Hampton, NH, just a little north of Hampton Beach.

    These are from a little spot on route 1A just south of Hampton Beach. I don’t know if it is in Seabrook or in the town of Hampton Beach, but you can see the Seabrook nuclear power plant from here so… kaboom.

    After that spot I drove home, but didn’t go home. I went to the Spicket Falls Dam in downtown Methuen. We’ve had massive rains over the last week so the river was roaring.

    At this point I still had a few shots left in two of the film cameras so I went over to Greycourt Park where I got my brand new sneakers soaking wet by walking around in the grass. It was nice.

    And there you have it. Finally, a photography kinda morning. You would think this would hold me over for a little while at least, but nope. I want to go out again right now. Right Freakin’ Now.

  21. What could be better than being by the sea? I've loved the Swiss mountains for a long time, but the Norwegian coast has definitely captured my heart and won't let it go. Especially when the landscape is at its best. I could walk along these coasts forever and lose myself in the beauty.

    Which landscape do you love the most?

  22. I stopped in three places this morning. I will post each stop separately, though almost all of the pictures I took were at this first spot.

    Stop number one was the same spot as last week’s cloudy sunrise failure. Hampton Beach. Just a smidge north of the main beach area. Last week the tide was out and the clouds were in. This week the tide was in and the clouds were nowhere to be seen. I got there about 10 minutes before the sun came up. I only had a short stretch of very rocky beach between me and the sea wall. It was enough.

    This next photo is a very happy accident. I had put my digital camera (Nikon Z5) down to take some pre-sunrise film pics (Dad’s Pentax K1000). It was getting very close to sunrise time so I switched back to digital and just put it up to my eye and focused on the horizon. I was looking due East (totally by accident) at the exact moment the sun broke the water. Like, the exact moment. I saw it through the view finder. I did not see a green flash though.

    This photo is from about one heartbeat after the sunrise started. Can you see the little guy off in the distance?

    This photo demonstrates my one screw up in a very positive way. When I am at home taking pictures of the cats I keep the ISO on my Z5 pretty high. 1600, usually. When I go outside I lower the ISO to 100 or 200, depending on how much light there is. I just like the way things look when the ISO is way low. Today… I forgot to lower it. All of these are at ISO 1600, which means the camera takes in more light (ISO is supposed to be like film speed, the higher the number the more light) which meant I could use a way faster shutter speed, which means the birds who randomly photo bombed me are not blurry at all.

    I know I already posted this next photo, but it is my favorite of the day by so many hundreds of miles that I am posting it again.

    And there we have it. The first of three posts from this morning’s photo fun. I am very pleased with how these came out, even if the ISO is way too high. The next post will be from the side of the road (route 1A) a few miles north of this spot. The second post is from a few miles south at a little beach spot in Seabrook, across the water from the nuclear power plant and where there is a little marina or something with lots of boats tied up for the night.

    I just hope all of the film shots came out okay.

  23. Sunrise is at 5:10am tomorrow.

    Photos at the ocean?

    I don’t know if I will be able to wake up at 4:00am in order to get there in time, but if I do I’ll have a digital camera and a film camera and it will be cool.
