Lobster cages and boat parking spaces

Some four+ hours of scanning later, I am a bit braindead but now have an overwhelming selection of photos I want to share from Portland. On a day like today, I feel like I work a 13+ hour workday when I factor in the scanning, processing and blogging time. Ugh, I love it and all but I think I must get out tomorrow night.

Naturally, I toted around the Contax during this trip - I still like to think that shooting film forces you to be a better photographer but I may just be feeling defensive about this art.

The following pictures are from around Old Port (and shot on 400NC). Everything was really quiet that afternoon - Portland is very much a seasonal city and I'm sure is significantly busier during the warmer months. I was amused by the stacks and stacks of lobster cages and the boat "parking garages." The water and sky were splendidly blue that day and the water noiselessly still.

My favorite shot is the last portrait one in the set. Ah, it just all reeks of New England. :)

    It looks like the day was perfect for you! Sometimes it is nice to be able to shoot without people in the photos. Beautiful.

    Wow, totally gorgeous, you got the feel of New England just right! I spent the last two summers in Maine -- looking at these photos made me miss it terribly! Hope it wasn't TOO cold...

    My favorite picture is the one with the seagull! I also like how the water is so still in all the pics. Love the reflections off of the water.

    Love these photos!!! They remind me of my trip out to the Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, P.E.I, Nova Scotia) last summer and now I'm thinking of digging through my archives and putting some of those images up!
