Kennebunkport - Connie Porter Scott

Descriere

Since the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth ncentury, the camera has been used as a tool of both discovery and npreservation. Photographs bring alive our image of the past and can nopen a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and a nsense of history. nFrom its early settlement in the 1600s to the present, the area nknown as the Port and the Cape has typified what it means to nlive or vacation on the Maine coast. Kennebunkport is a study in ncontrasts: fishermen work the sea while tourists fill Dock Square in nsearch of art, lobstah, and steamers; fish shanties dot the shore of nthe Cape while estates and luxury hotels dominate Ocean Avenue; nsailboats glide serenely through the harbor while carnivals take place non the Kennebunk River. It is this variety of people, places, and nevents that has always made Kennebunkport one of the most dynamic nand vivacious communities on the Northeastern seaboard.
