Paint Factory Future

Posted on by Mike Lindberg


In 1863, The Tarr and Wonson Paint Manufactory revolutionized the fishing industry with the invention of copper paint. The new paint was used to coat the hulls of ships, improving their speed and maneuverability. This was critical both in battle and in bringing fish to market. Fisherman used the paint factory’s smoke stack as a navigational aid. The 120–year–old former paint factory is one of our last links to a time when Gloucester was the capital of the fishing industry, making it a Gloucester icon.

Situated at the entrance to the harbor, the historic paint factory buildings (among the most depicted by New England artists) will become the new headquarters of Ocean Alliance. They stand on more than 1000 feet of waterfront. By consolidating our waterfront activities, including a home-dock for our research vessel Odyssey, we can expand our water access & better support our local research programs. When completed, the renovated facility will simplify logistics, and facilitate expanded programs for the people of Gloucester and for visitors and resident scientists from across the world.

Here is the information If you would like to join the 7pm Webex on Photoshop Tips. This is a trial webex account so not sure how it will work. I will be using voice over the internet. If you have speakers and a mic, we should be able to talk and ask questions. If not, there is always a chat window for asking questions. I believe Photoshop Elements Software has most of the same basic tools.

Miniature Gloucester

CAPT JOE’s

DUNKIN DONUTS
DOUBLE CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER VERSIONS

By applying fake focus in photoshop, it gives the appearance of being miniature. This works best with photos taken from a higher vantage point than the subject. If you have any photos that are taken from atop a building or some other elevated point, send them to mlindberg1@mac.com and I will be happy to try this technique on your photo.
