Photography for Bloggers: Second Opinion

Don't be afraid to look like a photo-blogging geek.  If you want 

some good shots, you have to be nosy sometimes.  When I show

up at Beaton's any more, I think they all pretty much know another

post is coming.  Not that they all rush to read it.

Silent Maid's dinghy Maid Service.

Hoist pit at Beaton's.  I can't even begin to imagine how many

classic boats have sat here, including my not so classic Merit 25

a bunch of times.

It wouldn't be a true visit if I didn't walk to the end of the T dock

and say hello.  She enjoyed my presence.  The skipper was

nowhere to be found.

Doryman, you've shown interest in this old girl before.

Catboat row, surprisingly still full two weeks ago.

I had a feeling I'd find Charley in here after having come back

north from the winter in the Florida Keys and Beyond.

It's almost like these guys expect to be chronicled once in a while.

Paul took it in stride that I was behind him snapping photos.

I no longer feel like I'm intruding.

Myth has been a popular subject lately in our little group of 

Barnegat Bay bloggers.

Charley sanding the teak hatch covers from his Tartan 27.  Having 

just recently sold the boat, he was doing some last minute sprucing

and hoping that the new owner would treat her with as much respect.

He reminds me of another guy who took great pride in his work.

Accidental cool photo.  Standing in the rain outside of the main shed,

I took this picture of Charley sanding and later saw my own reflection

in the window pane.  There must be a certain name for that.

Charley's Tartan.  Just the teak and the bottom needed attention

and delivery was around the corner.
