Jeffrey Stevensen, Photography & Transformation. The book features fifty-one brilliantly detailed black and white photographs of the Portland, Maine waterfront in the 1980's at the end of the working waterfront fishing era. Captured with an 8x10 camera, the rich and lyric beauty of the photographs captures a cast-off environment inhabited largely by absence. The introduction by Herb Adams establishes the precise historical context of Portland amidst its transition to an unknown future.
