Vivid lightning struck the Boston area yet again last evening. I headed to Revere Beach, as I did a few days ago, due to the strong storms that were headed toward Swampscott and Lynn etc. I snapped these people checking out the show. EDITORS NOTE: Lightning is the second leading killer in the “hazardous weather killing” category so…don’t try this at home! Also, that is the Massachusetts State Police Revere barracks in the first photo. Herald story is here.
(06/01/10-Revere,Mass.) A young man tries to keep dry under the shelter of a Revere Beach gazebo as lightning strikes offshore at approximately 3:30 pm yesterday afternoon. Then the heavy rain can be seen just offshore in bottom photo..
(June 1, 2007-Boston,Mass.) The Fenway Faithful playfully tease Alex Rodriguez by wearing masks of a blonde woman one day after A-Rod allegedly cheated on his wife with a blond exotic dancer/model. And, at bottom, also at the game, Christie Brinkley, former 1980’s heartthrob, can be seen doing “the wave” next to the Red Sox dugout. Both snapped for the Herald.
(April 16, 1996-Boston,Mass) Outside of the Old South Church I snapped photos of Victoria Duffy and Dennis Hopper’s marriage. Dennis died today.
(05/28/03-Boston,MA) Emotion is evident in the Bish and Pryor families during a State House ceremony to commemorate Massachusetts Missing Children’s Day, which actually occurred May 25. Here, as a song played at the end of the ceremony, John and Magi Bish, parents of missing teen lifeguard Molly Bish, hug their daughter Heather and her fiance Matthew Guertin. In back row, reaching to support the Bish family, is Andrew Pryor , father of 9-year-old murder victim Sarah Anne Pryor. Missing Children’s Day is actually on May 25 of each year since 1983, when then President Ronald Regan proclaimed May 25 National Missing Children’s Day . The Molly Bish Foundation can be found here.
I was looking back at my photos of Tom Brady over the years and discovered these vastly different looks. Some photos snapped for the Boston Herald.
Which hair style works for you? Drop me a line here on the comment line and I will tabulate the votes.
Huge waves, associated with a late season Nor’Easter, crash along Winthrop Shore Drive for a second straight day.
It really is hard to believe that I snapped this photo seven years ago today. The photograph, shot from Charlestown’s Chelsea Street, really resonated with weather lovers and architecture aficionados alike. The storm was part of a line of heavy thunderstorms moving in from Southern Middlesex County. It seemed to fizzle when it reached me, probably due to the influence of the relatively cold ocean water temperatures. I set up a tripod and positioned myself so that I could get the most flattering angle of the bridge. And then I waited. I always get a bit nervous during these storms as one tends to be a vulnerable target next to a large metal tripod. This photograph made the front of the Boston Herald the next day. Shot with a Canon camera and a 70-200mm F2.8 lens.
Just two days after a massive fire destroyed Cambridge’s Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a worker is seen through the shattered stained glass of the Church at 2 Longfellow Park. He is surveying ways to save the steeple after sunday’s fire devastated the church. Shot with a Canon EOS 1D Mark 111 and a 70-200mm lens.
Here are my photos of Tom at an ’08 press conference to support Best Buddies which, according to their website, is an organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It was founded in 1989 by Anthony Shriver. This year’s fundraising festivities include the Boston to Hyannis Port Best Buddies Challenge biking event on June 5. To get involved or to donate go here.
Here, Tom Brady poses for a photo with Crystal Stewart, Miss USA from Texas and Hillary Cruz, Miss Teen USA from Colorado.

All photos snapped on assignment for the Boston Herald’s Inside Track.
