Birds eye view of Walter J. McCarthy Jr.

While I was up flying today an a photography assignment, I was able to snap a few shots of the 1000 ft  Walter J. McCarthy Jr as she pulled away from the Midwest Energy Dock with a load of coal and sailed out under the Duluth Lift Bridge.
A beautiful day in the Northland with 60 degree temps and calm winds made for a great day to fly and also wonderful day to throw a line in the water as I noticed hundreds of steelhead fishermen along the shore of Lake Superior.

The Tall Ships are Coming!

With the arrival this summer of a flotilla of Tall Ships in July, the Duluth Harbor will be a mariners dream and a photographers paradise.
I will be publishing a photo book in June that covers the various Tall Ship Festivals in Duluth, including a preview of the 2013 event. While the book will not be available for a few weeks, I thought you might enjoy paging through an e-book version.
The limited edition book will be selling for about $15. Please email me if you want me to save you a copy  when they come in. In the mean time, enjoy the online version.
