Friends own one end of a most remarkable island a few miles offshore, and years ago I used to spend a bit of time out there. This island has one of the more unique histories, which, off the coast of […]

I must’ve been asked at least 1000 times how this photograph came to be. Back in 1980, Betsy Wyeth, wife of Andrew Wyeth, bought Allen Island and asked me to help her figure out what to do with it. One of the […]

Back in 2007, Philip Conkling, Louis Cabot and I were down on Great Gott Island for an afternoon, visiting our friends, Tina and John Gillis. It was a lovely summer day and all seemed absolutely right […]

I love the fact that from where I sit right now, warm, snug and dry on this dreary, wet, Maine April Sunday, I can lean forward and see the mouth of our harbor which is crowned by The Perfect Small Island, […]

Years ago I ran across the Spanish word querencia in a book by William F. Buckley, with whom I had developed a friendship after we worked together on a piece for Architectural Digest. So, being of […]

Not much, really, to this….couple of gloves on a wharf, that’s all.
Yet it’s more.
I see it as a representation, or portrait, of partners, of people working together. In this case, the guys who work together […]

A week or so ago it got up to 80º here. We were all pretty excited about that, I can tell you. However, Spring in Maine is nothing if not fickle, so that tease of warmth was followed by two minor snowfalls, […]

Well, here it comes….Nature’s sweetest blessing.

The kiss of more light and balmy temperatures. And winds that caress, not cut.

Here the drear of a winter that stayed too long….the upturned boat on […]

Probably looks pretty much like this out on that high island today. We had a little snow yesterday, after several unbelievably welcome days of shirtsleeve weather. And that’s Spring in Maine for […]

This image was made last summer, maybe July or August….?  It’s now a mid-March promise of the warmth that lies ahead, and maybe even a reflection upon the duality of it all….life, people, nature…..all of […]

I’m thinking that this might be the last photograph of the winter series…it’s coming on late February and I have now heard birds calling in the morning and heard the first doves cooing at sunrise, which, by […]

My friend and I were out on the boat poking around the islands off the St. George peninsula…one truly perfect way to spend a cold, quiet, snowy winter day.

One of the great things about winter along […]

Maybe twenty-five years ago I was driving down around Owl’s Head when I saw this. It pretty much says it all about winter in “old” Maine. Aren’t too many pumps left in front yards, and you sure don’t see […]

I love fireworks…I mean I really love them. As a boy my brothers and I made our own (our poor mother!) and later we were very good at procuring some fantastic bootleg stuff. In my headier days as a […]

This is one of my all-time personal favorites. Couldn’t be more simple and that is a big part of why I like it.

Back in the mid-80’s I was running the boat through a gut and passed this skiff with a […]

I seldom go out of my way to deliberately stage an image, but this is a definite exception. Because, as I mentioned in an earlier […]
