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!
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.
The office of Dr. Steven Lary, Optometrist, recently contacted me to photograph their office space, examination rooms, and equipment. They were relaunching their website and were in need of updating their photography. A wonderful group of professionals to work with, and I love how they creatively incorporated the images into their new website. The site is now live and can be seen here.
A pleasure to work with Phi Home Builders documenting their beautiful custom made furniture and cabinets at two locations in Camden, Maine. I love the exquisite details in the bed and dresser.
Mainebiz recently featured my photography in a cover story on all of the development in Rockland, Maine entitled, “Rock-Solid Resurgence”. They were spot on in their assessment.
The Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) is moving to Rockland and their Toshiko Mori designed building will open in the summer of 2016, seen below is the Executive Director, Suzette McAvoy. While CMCA’s new home is being built, they have taken up interim quarters on Rockland’s waterfront and continue to exhibit compelling and creative works of art. Luxury boatbuilder Lyman-Morse of Thomaston is establishing a land-based presence in Rockland with the construction of a five story boutique hotel at the head of Main Street – pictured below in the gallery is owner, Cabot Lyman atop the new hotel. The Farnsworth Art Museum received funding for an extensive facelift to the Wyeth Center and the building was surrounded by scaffolding a good deal of the summer season – the project is now complete and looks stunning. The Dowling Walsh Gallery on Main Street is also in the news with plans for a multi-million dollar expansion. Not pictured here is the new and very much welcomed Main Street Markets.
A rock-solid resurgence for sure.
Earlier this year Dave Clough Photography was commissioned by East Brown Cow Management, Inc. The end-goal throughout the project was to provide the company with images that conveyed the level of quality they put into every aspect of their property management business. Winter photography was completed in March (as seen here in an earlier post), I returned this summer to complete photography of their commercial holdings.
The project coincided with the opening of their beautiful new Hyatt Place Hotel, a stellar example of how forward-thinking planning and development can positively impact a city’s landscape.
Their new website has been launched and can be seen here.
A tranquil summer’s evening provided a colorful backdrop to a celebration at The Slipway Restaurant in Thomaston, Maine. I am always happy to return for commercial work at my favorite eatery.
For the freshest and tastiest seafood, look no further than The Slipway Restaurant …
….and it is an awesome place to just hang out, too.

The Slipway Restaurant in Thomaston serves up fresh Maine seafood in a variety of delectable ways. Located on and over the water at the Public Landing in Thomaston,The Slipway is a not-to-be-missed haven for seafood aficionados. This recent shoot captured the quiet of twilight while the restaurant was bustling.
If swordfish is on the menu when you go, try it…you won’t regret it!
