  Bob Crink’s ‘Women of the Boothbay Region II’: B&W vignettes

  Wed, 01/15/2020 - 7:00am

  

  What is it about B&W photos and films that grabs us? I know it’s not just me who adores them. For me it’s because B&W images have a timeless element about them. B&W also adds super shadow and light effects to any subject. It fascinates. It’s compelling. Local photographer Bob Crink chose to bring the magic of B&W into focus for his second “Women of the Boothbay Region” photography show at Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library.

  Art in snowshoeing

  Wed, 01/08/2020 - 11:15am

  

  Let’s face it: Not all of us are into winter sports. There. I said it. And, I (not surprisingly) am one of those. Tried skiing – once – couldn’t make a “pie” or ski as well as the toddlers on the bunny slope! Very discouraging, not to mention embarrassing! But, I got over it rather quickly because the thought of hurdling down a mountain slope covered in snow and ice at a fast clip is not my idea of a good time. Having said that, I do enjoy snowshoeing – quite a lot, actually. It’s the zen way...

• Ae Home Store: There’s a whole lot goin’ on

  Fri, 12/06/2019 - 3:00pm

  

  Local fans of Alison Evans’ sea-inspired ceramics no doubt noticed some big changes at Ae Home last June and throughout summer. The business began diversifying in linen and cashmere clothing, home furnishings from sofas to tables and lamps; unscented, no-drip candles, candlesticks, mirrors and more. And it had been part of the plan since Evans and husband Chris Fritz bought the building that houses Ae Home at 93 Townsend Ave. in Boothbay Harbor. “We knew we wanted to grow it into a home store;...

• Walk

  Mon, 11/25/2019 - 11:15am

  

  For as long as we have lived here in Maine I have visited the small loop back road that circles beyond Hendricks Head beach along the Sheepscot River salt marsh connecting to Dogfish Head Road overlooking Ebenecook Harbor, on Southport. Its a meditative path that never failed to cool my jets, which have long since cooled on their own as I move along the other roads less traveled. We all have our spots, I'd guess. This one gives me pause. Often when I have taken a little break from it all,...

• Shooting holiday lights

  Wed, 11/13/2019 - 6:00pm

  

  A lot of people put their cameras away when the sun sets because shooting after dark can be challenging and the results can be disappointing.

Many cell phone...

  At Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset Oct. 5, two brothers shared their late mother’s art in a setting different from where most of her works appeared. Woolwich’s Tommy Davis and Peter Davis of Virginia said their mother Ardyth Davis (1930-2015) worked on commission. So the works, many inspired by the Maine coast where the family summered, tended to go to corporations, not galleries, they said. “So it’s fabulous seeing all these pieces in one space,” Peter Davis said.
