Gagne & Son Concrete

Summer 2016 found me photographing for Gagne & Son Concrete around and across the state of Maine.

 

Documenting their pavers in use for driveways, patios and pool surrounds, the extended project was a wonderful opportunity to see Maine craftsmanship at work in landscape design. From modest to magnificent properties – all were enhanced with these Gagne & Son Concrete pavers.

CMCA – Center for Maine Contemporary Art

The Center for Maine Contemporary Art has officially moved to Rockland, and in a big, impressive, and beautiful way. Their new home was designed by Toshiko Mori and I was commissioned by CMCA to photograph the exterior and its instantly-iconic sawtooth roof. Several variations on a singular theme – many thanks to those who guided, assisted and helped out. Isn’t that Porsche just wonderful!

CMCA NOW – indeed!

McCulloch House, Kennebunk, Maine

I was recently commissioned by Maine Preservation to photograph the McCulloch House in Kennebunk. Shipbuilder and merchant Hugh McCulloch originally had the house built ca.1782 … it has remained in the family since. Hugh McCulloch’s son (Hugh) was born there in 1808 and went on to serve as Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur. The property is now on the market to be sold.

Interesting features throughout, I could not help but marvel over the rare wallpaper in a closet as it was from 1785. The scene depicts America’s new found independence as evidenced by the trampling of a scroll of “British Laws” and celebrates July 4th 1776. Other features in the home include hinged walls on the second floor which could be raised to make a ballroom, and pocket shutters on the first floor. The front hallway is graced with a Simon Willard tall clock … Living history abounds on Summer Street in Kennebunk.

Rhumb Line Camden, Maine USA

Scott Yakovenko is at it again. First the legendary Dip Net in Port Clyde, next the wonderful Slipway Restaurant in Thomaston (click here for previous Slipway post), and now the Rhumb Line in Camden on the harbor at the Lyman-Morse Wayfarer facility. Offering seldom seen views of Camden and wonderfully fresh seafood, the atmosphere is lively, friendly, and inviting.
