The "By the Bay" collection is an evolving group of images that are found in my favorite places close to water. The core of the collection are the working boats from down east, some are retired, some are just resting in the off season, all reflect long lives working the waters of the Atlantic.

The core is complemented with watercraft and scenes from the Great Lakes, Italy and Ireland.

The entire collection are original prints on handmade kinwashi Japanesse papers. Each print is unique in that the grain, fiber and structure are random and not repeatable.

These prints have won awards including “Best of Show", “First Place, Photography" and “Award of Excellence".

The images represented on this site are of the actual prints and the framing. The colors are close but not exact. If you have seen these prints in person you will understand that the subtleties in presentation may be missing.
