owls head, me<br />

I've been making quick visits to<br />

<strong>Monhegan</strong> for work for years<br />

but couldn't sneak in much time<br />

for photography on the island.<br />

I was familiar with the island,<br />

but not familiar in the way intentional<br />

photography connects<br />

me to a place. Taking the time to<br />

photograph here has shown me<br />

<strong>Monhegan</strong> has the wildness and<br />

energy that we expect to find on<br />

the coast of Maine, but turned up<br />

to 11. The rocks, woods, sky, and<br />

ocean I love seem familiar, but<br />

much much more intense away<br />

from the mainland. I can manage<br />

to show little excerpts of this<br />

boldness in photographs.<br />
