Photographer Frank Chillemi experienced the coast of Maine with its evocative light and beauty for the first time in 1988, and in his heart he has never left. Working, studying, and teaching along these shores ever since, Frank has produced a body of work, represented in this book, that reflects his love, passion, and utmost respect for the land and the sea, its maritime traditions, and the people who call this coast home.
