At Home with Tech

Whether connecting to a moment of celebration or a daily activity, the enormity of the ocean and adjoining shoreline dwarfs our existence. Here’s my collection of photos from the southern Maine coast that explores our relationship with this ‘waterworld.’

If you live by the ocean shore or vacation there, it’s inevitable that patterns of life will be drawn to this unknowable force.

My family and I recently spent some vacation time in Cape Porpoise and Portland, Maine, and I had the opportunity to practice my photography by the water. I looked for examples of daily life and how people had modified their activities to reflect their proximity to the ocean.

Whether through work or play, people had, of course, adapted their existence to fully join with their ‘waterworld.’

Here are some of the aqua-influenced activities I spotted. (And please allow me some creative license with my wording, as I’m having a bit of fun with my titling nomenclature.)

Walking the Dog

Going for a Neighborhood Walk with your Friends

Taking a Long Bike Ride

Learning the Ropes

Parking the Car

Talking by the Water Cooler

Commuting to Work

Experiencing the Enormity

Action!
I tried to focus on the action of these moments to help visualize this little photo essay from our time by the Maine shore. Hope you enjoyed it!
