A Passage in Time. Along the Coast of Maine by Schooner
Year: 1991 Language: english Author: Spectre P.H. Genre: History Publisher: W.W. Norton & Co ISBN: 0-393-02997-2 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 225 Description: Marine photography has a long tradition, as long as the history of photography itself. Each era has produced its stars — among them the successive generations of Bekens of Cowes and the Gibsons of the Scilly Isles; W.B. Jackson of Massachusetts; Edw in Levick of New' York; and the Rosenfelds, father and son. also of New' York. Their styles may have been different, but all these photographers shared a common trait: They understood boats. Not just by being able to tell one boat type from another — a sloop from a cutter or a schooner from a ketch. Bather, they understood the lines of boats, the shapes of boats, the way boats moved in a seaway. Whether this understanding was intuitive or acquired from study, I do not know. But I do know that such an appreciation allowed them to elevate their work from taking pictures of boats to creating images of boats as fine art.
