RV Endeavor, Narragansett Towers and The Wall
The RV Endeavor is a super-cool research vessel and its purpose and history are best explained via the following webpage: RV Endeavor. I just like coming to the bay campus early in the morning to enjoy the cool, calm air and water and finally took advantage of the ship being docked before its next adventure. I highly recommend visiting this location at night because it is wonderfully illuminated and a interesting sight to see. Additionally, I went to Narragansett to take some images of the wall and tower adorned with cones and other barriers to keep people from congregating in large groups. Hopefully we’ll never have to deal with something…

Rocky Point – Revisited
Full moon, 50 degrees with a light to moderate breeze on a January evening. Bright. So, so bright. We (my fellow photographer pal and brother-in-law – Dan Jacobvitz) spent a few hours on the grounds of the former amusement park, Rocky Point. An old amusement ride tower, the arch and the pier were the focus. I was hoping the pier was still in full disrepair and was not aware it was being rebuilt.

With the advancing technology, it’s only getting easier…and I’m fine with that. I was actually here for a shot for a project but was not able to get what I wanted due to the high winds, so I got these as an alternative for being out there. The wind brought the wind chill into the single digits and there was a lot of ice on the rocks – but it was cool, pun intended, to be…

Back to Beavertail Lighthouse….
It was odd to not see the Beavertail light not operating. Just it’s small beacon. We were hoping for it’s light-driven backdrop to do some shots, but we ended up playing around with my brother-in-law’s “pixie-stick”…..(that’s not a euphemism)….. It’s been a while since working low-light and here a few from the night from both Beavertail and of the Newport Bridge. Yes, these are dominant themes in my portfolio….but seriously, they are awesome subject areas to shoot.
