🔥 Boat Burning Throwback Part 5! 🔥

For this throwback, we’re heading back to the 2024 Annual Boat Burning hosted by the Long Island Maritime Museum and West Sayville Fire Department

One of my favorite shots from that year was capturing a fire tornado as the boat burned. The combination of dry conditions and a windy night created this incredible visual, giving me the opportunity to capture a truly awesome moment.

I’m looking forward to being back for another year of this amazing Long Island tradition, and I can’t wait to see what unexpected moments I’ll be able to capture this time around.

Stay tuned for more Boat Burning throwbacks, and I’ll see you at the burning this Friday at 5 PM!

🔥 With the Annual Boat Burning hosted by the Long Island Maritime Museum coming up, I thought it would be the perfect time to look back and share some of my favorite photos from this event over the years.

These photos are from my very first Boat Burning in 2019, an event that has remained memorable to me ever since. The first photo went on to be featured in the book Haunted Places on Long Island because the smoke appeared to take the shape of a ghostly sailor.

It’s amazing to look back at these moments and see how photography can capture something unexpected and turn it into a lasting memory.

I’m looking forward to another year of capturing this awesome event and stay tuned for more tomorrow.

As photographers, we’re always looking for new ways to see the world.
Last week I broke a filter, but instead of throwing it away, I saw an opportunity to try something new and create something completely different.
