Amazon.com Review
The affection photographer and Martha's Vineyard resident Alison Shaw feels for her immediate surroundings is clearly expressed in each of her photos of the island. Shaw turns her lens on everything from the architectural details of island houses to fresh blueberries in their crates at the farmer's market and early-morning fisherman at Sengekontacket. She is not afraid to experiment with various polarizing and density filters, which give her images a range of dreamy effects--purple fog lifting off a lagoon, a fiery orange sunset at Paul's Point--and supersaturated colors. This is Shaw's second book of photography of the Vineyard. Her images are strong and colorful, though not always inventive. Still, readers who share her passion for the Vineyard should be happy to peruse this book.
