Poem: Low Tide

I wanted to acknowledge Earth Day 2021 with a piece of poetry, written about my beloved Merrimack River. I am a child of the river. She runs in me…

Low tide—
river’s edge.
Still waters. 
A lone duck, draws
a line 
across the reflection. 

The water—
like glass ripples.
Beyond, spring bustles.
Some days
it even hustles
always calling for introspection

Banks Dory Photography – 8″ x 12″ GiclĂ©e Prints

The Banks Dory was first built by Simeon Lowell at Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Simeon Lowell founded Lowell’s Boat Shop on the banks of the Merrimack River in Amesbury, Massachusetts in 1793. Lowell’s Boat Shop is now a working museum and on the National Register of Historic Places.

My fascination with photographing the Banks Dories and other Wooden Boats at Lowell’s Boat Shop started about a decade ago when I lived down the street from the boat shop. In the afternoon, sitting at my desk, I could see the sun reflecting off the west side of the building. One day I was moved to grab my camera and go across the street to take photos of the boat’s reflections on the river. I’ve spent hours on the banks of the river at Lowell’s Boat Shop over the years immersing myself in the imagery, the colors and movement.

The fine art photos available below are some of my favorites, I hope they will be your favorites too.

Artist Statement: As a photographer I am drawn to color, light, movement, patterns and reflections that occur in nature. I am a visual spatial person who naturally sees what is before my eyes within a frame. Throughout my life I have been inspired by art and nature, each in their many forms. Photography a marvelous medium for me as multimedia artist, writer and photographer, as it provides an instant gratification of creating something tangible that I can share with others. I hope you find inspiration in my work, and invest in my artistic vision. With gratitude… Pamela Leavey

Three Wooden Boats

Over the past couple of years, I have had many friends who have suggested I should sell some of my photographs. I’ve always agreed and put the idea on the backburner. Selling my photography is now officially on the hot plate thanks to a couple of folks who saw this photo and make a personal connection with it.

Last week I was contacted about selling prints of this photo of Three Wooden Boats, photographed on the Merrimack River at Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, MA in July 2012.

I made the sale and in doing so, I was inspired to make some of my favorite photographs available in print here on my website…

Light & Color

Sometimes my eye catches something and it just pops out at me as art waiting to happen. That’s what I love about photography, it’s like instant art gratification. The photo below is of the ceiling light at Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts:

The photo itself I felt had some great effects, Photoshop did the rest of the work as the photo album shows (click on Slideshow).
