Beam : 08.30.2013


[Above] Beam
Late night light painting experiments on Nauset Light Beach, Eastham, Massachusetts.

As we were running around the beach with red LEDs, to our south, someone was launching sky lanterns. Each would float off into the moonlight as their amber glow would remain visible for miles. Further down the beach, someone was shooting a high intensity green laser into the Milky Way as if attempting communication with something real or imagined.

The totality of the scene must have looked crazy from the observation deck just below the lighthouse. While staring out at the ocean at night, darkness hides the details, only electric lights in the distance suggest another human.

We shot at high tide, and the beach break would explode out of the darkness at 10 second intervals as the beam from Nauset Light would sweep overhead.

Nothing like the solitude of a beach at night. It provided quite a contrast to the chaos and push of Route 6 during peak hour.

Moving Shadows : 08.29.2013






Today was a hard day and I was sea sick for most of it. The water off of Chatham is cold and spooky, and if you look close enough, you see moving shadows. Our chartered boat was around the 20 foot range. As seas built to 10 foot swells, the trough seemed like being in a hole in the water.

West Hall Red : 07.19.2013


[Avove] Image of West Hall on the RPI campus in Troy, New York. West Hall served as the Troy Hospital from 1871 to 1913. Judging from its imposing architecture and elevated stance, one can see where the legend of Nurse Betsy originated:

From Wikipedia
"Some believe the building is haunted, and ghost hunters visited the building in 2006. According to legend, Nurse Betsy cared for the patients in the psychiatric ward of the old Troy Hospital. She was very musically talented and often played the piano to calm the screams and whining of her patients. She was very well known in the hospital, serving as a nurse until her tragic and unfortunate death. As legend goes, there was a fire in the psychiatric ward when Betsy was working. In her heroism, she attempted to save the lives of her patients. Unfortunately, she and many of her patients were not able to escape the flames and died entrapped in the psychiatric ward where legend has it they remain to this day. Many times late at night you can hear the sounds of Nurse Betsy’s footsteps as she walks from room to room checking in on her patients. Some have even heard her patients screaming or whining, doors flying shut, loud thumping noises and if you listen closely…the faint sound of piano coming from the psychiatric ward in the basement of the old Troy Hospital."

DIY GoPro Surf Mount


[Above] I wanted a decent mount for my GoPros and didn't want to spent $100 for a stick with a leash. I built this today from  plastic and silicone with stainless steel hardware and a 550 Paracord leash. Looking forward to some ocean time this summer to get this thing wet.
