 The Maine
coast is renowned for its raw
physical beauty, but frequent
flatspells and brutal weather
nine months of the year offer
scant photo opps that
don't involve lobster
boats or lobster claw gloves.
Local Nick LaVecchia has the
rare patience to capture those
fleeting days and seemingly
transform this often cruel
coast into some kind of lush,
sun-drenched haven. His
photography captures the
isolated desolate moments that
comprise the New
Englander's waveriding
experience. Close examination
of Nick's work reveals an
instinctive awareness for the
principle of addition by
subtraction--that is, the
power of shadows and shading
to suggest, shape, and enhance
the visible. Nick is a Senior
Photographer for Eastern
Surf Magazine and
N’East
Magazine, has traveled
the world and lived in
Burlington, Vermont, before he
settled in York, Maine, and
found a home in the
Northeast.
