Lately I’ve been working on a new venture documenting the blue economy and sustainable ocean industry. There is so much going on here in Rhode Island and it’s amazing to see. I had been tracking a few large research vessels that work surveying a wind farm located about twenty miles Southwest of Nantucket. These ships will seek safe harbor during weather events like winter storm Izzy. Enduring heavy wind, rain, and flooding, I managed to get the content I needed, but was sure to create some art before my job was through.

Another research vessel, The Furor Explorer, pictured below on the right was also in Newport Harbor for a little getaway. These ships are exciting to see up close, but catching a glimpse means you’ll have to endure some heavy weather.

The close up below was taken from the Northern tip of Fort Adams and landed on the front page of Newport This Week. I’ll be creating more content like this as I continue to document this blue wave here in New England, and I’ll be certain to remember to let the shutter lag for a few.
