Sightings: A Maine Coast Odyssey - Hardcover
Synopsis
When he was a young man finding his way in the world, award-winning photographer Peter Ralston was introduced to the beautiful and austere coast of Maine by his friends Andrew and Betsy Wyeth. It was an introduction that was to change his life forever. In Maine's coastal communities, and especially on its islands, Ralston found what every artist is looking for: a place to spend a creative lifetime, a subject that embodies every element of human experience. Includes an afterword by Betsy and Andrew Wyeth. —This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
