This was taken on the southern tip of Islesboro, an island in Penobscot Bay Maine. The area is called Town Beach and faces south towards North Haven and Vinal Haven.

Pompidou

November 3, 2022

This is a photo of Ali, the nephew of a long-time friend Feisal. Ali went to art school so we have much in common. This was taken at the Pompidou Center in Malaga Spain from inside the glass door entrance so the lettering is reversed. There’s something about this photo I really like – the

John Earle

March 26, 2021

This is John Earle, a photographer. It’s a little awkward photographing a photographer, especially a great portrait photographer like John. This is out on Warner’s Pond, the last ice before spring. John has a strong, quiet, underlying countenance about him, and this photo I think reveals that. Here’s another pic of John a few years

Race Point Beach

August 23, 2016

A friend on the beach in the fog, Provincetown, MA. Was surprised to see so many seals and so few people on an August day though it had rained heavily earlier. She always had her arms out like this, it was her ‘thing’ when having her picture taken, which was smart since it’s hard to

Barcelona

January 2, 2015

Hopefully, this doesn’t look too spooky, it was during an upbeat, adventurous time, back in Barcelona again. I’d been taking a lot of photos of a friend so had the urge to take one, this in the bathroom of a beautiful vegetarian restaurant right after New Years. Here’s another pic from that time.

Middle One

December 9, 1998

Our middle son, only months old – it was near Christmas time in Topsfield if I remember correctly. He perched on the table well-fed and happy, chubby cheeks and all. And what a smile.

Christening

August 10, 1996

This was taken of our firstborn after he was Christened on an island in Maine. Every family has iconic photos – ones that go up on the wall, then down and up again somewhere else, or get reprinted and reframed always to reappear – this is one of ours. It was a cloudy day and

Al

March 27, 1980

This is a yearbook senior pic I took of a good friend. It’s a double exposure with a 4 x 5 large-format camera and was taken in the basement of the Pot Pourri yearbook room which was in an old building originally the cafeteria supposedly. We were told the closets were where they stored food
