Schooner Heritage Trip with My Dad

Storm Nemo at Portland Head Light

Had to bundle up for this intrepid shoot which took me about an hour to finally get both these waves crashing at the same time... fun just to get out in this stuff if you are dressed correctly... thanks to Explore The Outdoors Worldwide for all my great gear... freezing spay was coming over the fence which is pretty rare out here.

SAIL COVER FEB 2013

Photo from the start of the Newport to Bermuda Race from the infamous wavelengthstudios Dauntless driven by Andrew Sims, photo taken by JH Peterson, but I took half the credit (and half the money) seeing he didn't pay me for gas money all summer!    Nice work by both of us...

Wooden Boat Show and World Championship Dog Competition Rockland Maine.

Thanks to everyone who came by first ever booth at the Maine Boats and Harbors Home show this weekend in Rockland!  Check out my short video of the Boat Yard Dog World Championships below... I am planning on cleaning up at this event next year with a very well trained border collie who can catch frisbees while riding in an inflatable. The dog can steer the inflatable to very near where the frisbee is landing then he leaps out of the inflatable and catches the frisbee in mid air, then splashes into the water... this will easily win this competition as you can see in my video, the dogs in this year's competition were so incredibly untalented, the winner was chosen by the handler who got dressed up the best and acted funny and fell into the water!  Thanks to Jeff Scher for the photo of me at my Booth.  Check out his blog post for a great aerial photo of the show.

Camden to Brookline Feeder Race Video & Kite Shots

Way more to come, we covered this race with two photographers, please request your photos on the request link on my maine site... enjoy.
