Open for Business
Happy Spring; it is great to see the colors starting, and water temperature on the rise. Todays news is my photography store is open for business. I opened the store with my most popular selling prints. I will be adding more prints monthly. You will see that I offer two types of prints to purchase, each in different sizes: Gloss Canvas on Stretcher Frame, has always been my favorite way to printing. It brings out amazing texture, depth, and some think they are paintings. I have two printers that make great canvas prints. Two samples below. Ultra HD Photo Prints…

Acadia National Park Lessons Learned
Last week I had the great opportunity to spend four days on Mount Desert Island (MDI), with my travel buddy Ted Morgan. We planned the trip in January, picked the dates, figuring we get what we get for weather. Of course both of us were hoping for a winter Nor’easter. Which happened but it was the day we drove home. The plan was to learn as much as possible, and see what we could capture in Acadia National Park, and all of MDI. It is a very quiet time of year in Bar Harbor where we stayed. At night you…

Rhode Island Wave Morning
I am always keeping an eye on the forecast for waves. Waves are such a big part of my life since I was a kid. I sail them, foil them, paddle them, study them, and of course film, and photograph of them. There are multiple locations that are my favorites, and this week I have added a few more. February 18th there were some nice waves to capture, not too big, but great texture with low light. This is rarely the case, but when I arrived early this time it struck me right away. I knew the sun was breaking…

Two new family boats
Welcome our two new boats in the family. Yes, we are talking model boats. We now have two Dragonflite 95 kit boats we put together on the dinning room table boat shop. It was great fun putting them together, and even more fun sailing/racing. Brad Read started the Newport, RI fleet two years ago, with a lot of help from fleet members. The racing is close, if not at times bumper car close, but still great fun. The growing fleet races Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 am for 90 minutes and tries for 10 races. We hope to add a…

Rejuvenated and Diving In
We just came back from an 18 day break visiting old and new friends down the east coast. While also getting in a week of wing foiling in Key West and Miami (where Carol sailed Comodoro Rasco Snipe Regatta) with great conditions in warm water. We did take some POV footage foiling, and I will put that together soon. It is always nice to travel, and always nice to be home. I feel fully recharged with the days getting longer, and am having a blast working long hard days for Paul Cronin Studios. As I said in my update for…

Paul Cronin Studio Updates for 2022
I hope everyone had a great holiday season? I am always excited with the calendar changing over to the New Year. For me it sparks ideas, and gives me some time in January to implement them. Let me first catch up for the silence I have had on the site, it was a busy year. Racing the TransPac 2021 was a great experience with a team I had only sailed the California Offshore week with prior. Since a kid the Santa Cruz 50 has been my dreamboat to race to Hawaii. And this one has a Tuttle rudder, nice transom…

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022
What a ride is has been for 2021. Had a fun time meeting some great people sailing down the West Coast, and in the TransPac. Have some new clients, fun with Carol foiling, Matsya, and traveling. And a loss that will always hurt, but we all grow and learn with life. Some exciting changes now the Kincora is sold. Lots of foiling coming, sailing with new clients, photography store up on the site soon. And back doing design work with an empty shop to try new ideas. So 2022 will be packed full, and hope it is the best year…
