Globe photographer George Rizer stood at the edge of New Bedford Harbor on Feb. 6, 2007, and captured this image of the scalloper Courageous. Patricia Lareau stood on a hurricane barrier, watching the ship carrying both her boyfriend and her son head out to sea.
 | Globe photographer George Rizer is retiring today after 39 years at the newspaper. He shot his first assignment for The Boston Globe in 1970 after studying photography in the army and at Boston College. He joined the staff in 1973. "So I hit the streets looking for fires, shootings, bank jobs, cats up trees, whatever. I retained the right to still shoot some sports and general assignments on weekends. I consider myself lucky -- being at the right time, right place on many occasions. The same goes for making pictures, but you can often make your own luck with a touch of experience, a heap of curiosity, and maybe a dash of pushiness."
