The never ending battle is getting dirtier by the day. My ability to find this ad as: pure genius, further proves my job's ability to overtake my life!

Christ...

japanese pen spinning, i wish a desk job had this sort of effect on me.

Rte. 302 to Sebago

Bog near Sebago Lake, ME

Finally I'm making some prints from the drum scans Bennie hooked me up with, this is the first of them. It comes from an ongoing project on a stretch of Maine road called Rte. 302, its an eclectic journey along this desolate stretch of Downeast Maine with an endless mix of bizarre and beautiful views of this state. One of my favorite stretches to cross as well as the main vein for excellent fisheries. Like I said, ongoing...

So my lovely and talented counter-part, Alissa Lane has just gone and gotten herself a blog: A.F. Lane. Hopefully she updates more than i do.

Tarpon

Every now and then I get a job at work that has images that totally rule. This huge tarpon caught by some guy who works at the LL Bean Hunt & Fish store in Freeport totally rules!

fort gorges

Fort Gorges, Casco Bay, ME

So Mr. Marchesi and I arose at the crack of dawn to paddle my 12 ft canoe out into the dark waters of the Casco Bay last weekend and snagged some shots of the old fort. Its a beautiful location, only accessible via water and encompasses the entire island with its walls. The tide was low and the sun rose in the horizon around 6:30 in the AM, needless to say, it was beautiful. I shot a couple sheets but this location is in desperate need of a revisit which will hopefully be in the not too distant and bitter cold future. In other news, while tracking some Rainbow's on the White River in Vermont, my lil digital camera decided to settle itself in a lovely puddle, in the aftermath, its fucked.

another morning on the presumpscott...

Yellow-Bellied Brown Trout, North Windham, ME


Young Brown Trout, North Windham, ME

when you hit stream side and a doe is but 30 yds ahead of you crossing the stream and an osprey calls out over your shoulder, it definately feels like its going to be a good day, and today was. With a count of 3 landed brown's and a close encounter with a monstrous snapping turtle, the deal was sealed.
My plans for Baxter State Park are sealed and set, just over 2 weeks and counting. also i have a great deal of work to update so check in over the next couple weeks to see what's what.

land battles...

Presumpscot River, North Windham, ME

So I was out on the river the other night with Alissa and as we were pulling in to the spot we stuck in at, there was a very tall and very loud man to greet us and inform us to "get off my land." After being accosted for a good 10 mins by drunken banter they finally came around and buddied up a little chattin us up about the river and how "you guys ahr fine back ere, but I could'a called the cops, cause i know all the cops ere and I could'a called em!" (if you don't know the maine accent, this doesn't make sense) and then "i aint gonna lie to ya ryan, I been back ere since bout 230 throwin horse shoes and drinkin the beers so i'm a bit buzzed!" His name was "Craig" and now i have a friend on the Presumpscot.
