This was taken in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Originally dedicated in 1893, Our Lady of Good Voyage was built for the Portuguese community in Gloucester, after they petitioned the Roman Catholic Church for the establishment of a place to worship dedicated to the Madonna. Large numbers of Portuguese immigrants migrated from the rugged Azores Islands and began settling around Gloucester's Inner Harbor as early as 1829 to work in the city's active fishing industry. By 1888, approximately 200 Portuguese families lived in Gloucester making it the largest Portuguese colony on the East Coast. According to the story of Our Lady of Good Voyage, a stranded fisherman in the rough Atlantic Ocean broke one of his oars and could not return to his homeport. He sought help from the Madonna and the sea miraculously calmed allowing him to reach port safely.

I have worked in a variety of photo disciplines, and I have done some professional work as a cinematographer. I find working with photo images to be great fun, Sometimes, I enjoy manipulating images to make the visuals more exciting and stimulating. I work in a variety of styles, so I will upload many different kinds of images.
