These photos date from my old "point and shoot" days, but I am currently pursuing a career as a professional photographer, so if you have interest in these or other, similar, photographs, I can deliver photo-process or archival inkjet versions.  Please write me for details.  My professional website, www.shapiroimages.com, gives a better idea of my work.

Tiny Kingdoms
All these islands are near Freeport. 

Off Bustins Island (my chart doesn't name this one)

Crab Island - I love that one tall tree in the middle!

The Pound of Tea - Watch that first step, it's a doozie!

Distant Destination (Halfway Rock)

Halfway Rock

Ram Island (Portland Harbor)

Seguin Light - the light is hiding behind the bluff, but I liked this shot better than the ones the show the light face on.

Seguin Island Landing
The sign reads "WELCOME TO SEGUIN ISLAND - LANDING AT YOUR OWN RISK".  From the look of that launching rail and walkway, they aren't kidding!

Eagle Island
Commodore Peary's House.  Tours of this magical little island are available on the Atlantic Seal, leaving from Freeport.

Hey You!  I'm over here!
Cormorants on Seguin Island.  I know ornithologists say they are just drying their wings, but I'd rather believe the one on the left is trying to get me to take its picture.
