My Vacation: Beers, Beatles, Sunrise Shoots, and Meeting The Keene Crew!

July 6, 2025

Where do I even begin? The last time we worked was the LUAU ON THE LAKE!

THAT was a blast!!! Sh**, bro! Captain Stuebings got NOTHING on me!

We had SO much fun on the boat! If you were on it - THANK YOU SO MUCH! If you weren't - then BE ON IT NEXT YEAR! haha

It was a pretty chill vacation for us after that. I'm not one who wants to travel on July 4th because the rest of the world is, and I like being where others aren't! Haha- We did hit some breweries, saw a concert, did some shooting (with the camera), watched some movies and hung out by the pool! No complaints from me either!

Did a sunrise along Marginal Way in Oqunquit and it was beautiful!

Might have had a Jimmy Juice at the Old Ferry Landing, and taken in a SPENCER AND THE WALRUS show at Prescott Park!

Great night of the Beatles by Spencer Albee and his band!

Shot up to Portland to Portland Head Light for a foggy morning shoot. Had to make the best of it!

And yeah, I love having a coffee and going through what I shot that morning. Great way to follow up the morning.

On Friday -Valerie and I hit a couple breweries in Portland too - with our Brew Tour friends Gary & Lorraine- First stop was Lone Pine Brewing Co!

And then - we went about 500 yards to ORANGE BIKE BREWING, where were joined by our daughter Cait and her partner Bri!

What a great place! PLUS- we ran into Julie and Dave from Walpole NH while we were there! Check this - They were THERE because they were the high bid winners during Lend a Helping Can for a suite at the next days PORTLAND SEA DOGS game! So they were in Portland celebrating!

Here's Julie and me!

Seriously- what are the chances they come to Portland and end up at the same place I did!!? And what a cool bunch of friends her and Dave had! I called the the Keene Crew!

We hung out, chatted and had some drinks together! What a cool day that was!

On Saturday, I got up at 2:30a and headed to one of my favorite places to photograph- Five Islands Harbor in Georgetown Maine. What a beautiful spot that is- and the sunrise was incredible!

And Sunday was a day by the pool. Cait and Tyler came over with Bri and Morgan - and it was a really nice, chill day. Good way to end the week.

So that's all I got -but like I said- I got no complaints about that vacation!

Hope you had some fun over the weekend -
