Quite a Sightly Place

9781933212913

$29.95

Fifty years ago, there were fifty family dairy farms in the town of Danby, Vermont. Today, there are four. Nationally acclaimed nature photographer David Middleton spent four years working on one of these farms, side by side with the three generations who operate it. Eldest is 93-year-old Hugh Bromley, the grandson of the first Bromley to raise dairy cows here. The property has been in the Bromley family since before the Civil War. Hugh's son, Roger, runs the farm today, along with his wife Trish. Their three sons come and go on the farm, depending on how busy their own lives are. The Bromley farm is quite a sightly place, the description Hugh's wife gave it when she first laid eyes on the place after World War II. Middleton has captured not only the visual beauty of this vanishing world but the voices of the Bromleys. Color images are interwoven with thirty short stories of life on the farm. Hugh recalls the early years as he goes about his chores. Roger, as engaging as he is shy, explains the day-to-day working of the family dairy business today. It'Äôs a fascinating world and, with Roger as the main guide, it'Äôs a pretty funny one as well.

Portland

9781933212708

$27.95

Portland, Maine, the beautiful town seated by the sea celebrated by poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is the home of photographer William Hubbell. ¬+His sharp eye and friendly lens have captured this vibrant city's many contrasts, the happy products of 370 years of history. In Hubbell's Portland we find the quaint and the ultramodern, the gritty working port and the thriving arts community. Here a city works hard for a living; here its people enjoy leisure and good times. Tourists prowl scenic Old Port within sight of oil tankers and island commuters. ¬+Fishing boats bob in the shadow of high rises housing twenty-first-century enterprises. William Hubbell's affection for Portland, from its center to its neighborhoods and even its farmlands, is clear on every page of this tribute to Maine's largest city.
