Vista of Maine in Greene, Maine

1/15/2021

0 Comments

 
We fell in love with the most charming venue in Greene, Maine. There is a cidery and a tasting room. There is also a large apple orchard with a breath taking view of Maine. The original home is available too. One of the living areas has the original wallpaper that is over 100 years old. It's a spectacular fun place filled with so much history.  We had such a great time photographing Vista of Maine.

Note: these images were photographed a year prior to the lighting storms of 2020 which caused devastating fires throughout California. The large fires created so much smoke that the entire country was covered in a smokey fog for several days
Photography is often at the apex of all celebrations and most tragedies. It often provides convincing evidence of hope and is a foundational when considering a solution to many of the world's issues. A photograph can most simply and miraculously transcend us to the familiar and unknown; It’s a powerful duo, the human and the camera.

​This particular body of work is deeply personal. As a native of California, HYW 152 and the San Luis Reservoir are indicative of two symbolic recurring situations that most Californias can probably resonate with. The first, if you are going through Pacheco Pass you are on some kind of road trip. The second, if you are a Californian, you pay close attention to the water line to measure how well we are doing and if there will be a drought that year. It can be a very exciting time if the water lines are topped off and a very sobering unspoken sadness in the car if they are low. Personally I have experienced both and in more recent times the drought is frequent if not annually now.

As I present these images of the San Luis Reservoir, I am asking you to go on a road trip with me. Imagine if you will, the windows rolled down, and the warm wind gently turns your glance towards the reservoir water along the Pacheco Pass with me. Is it a good year? Will there be a drought? I can’t tell you how many times we have said “Main, it’s so dry right now. I sure hope there isn’t a fire this year.”

Chocolats Passion in Portland, Maine

romantic image of chocolates and flowers
chocolate butterflies, garden blossoms, and vintage finds
My client Chocolats Passion located in the West End of Portland Maine generously gave me a collection of her hand painted chocolates. Not only are they divinely delicious, they are each a unique work of art. Each package was delicately wrapped and placed inside a shiny black bag with thick braided handles. The minute my hand went through the loop of the handle, I knew that we were about to go home together and make some art. 
I am obsessed with these chocolates. Kept imagining all of the beautiful ways I could take their portrait. So I set out a day of creating a scene. Items from my personal vintage collection appeared along with fresh cut flowers from my garden by the ocean. My favorite collectibles needed to be with me, my new favorite chocolate butterfly. 
What is it about local business owners and their shops that are so enchanting? In particular Chocolats Passion. From the moment I walked in, I felt as if I was in Paris with all of the romantic goodness Paris can offer. I also immediately sensed a love and care for the neighborhood. The neighbors share loving salutations as they pass her door anxiously anticipating her opening for the day. It’s contagious! I mean who doesn’t love art and chocolate? The two make for a powerful combination.

Full Moon Over Portland, Maine

Portland, Maine skyline at midnight
The August Full Moon over Portland, Maine.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
   Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
   They danced by the light of the moon,
             The moon,
             The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat (the last stanza)
