Hi everyone! We’re spending a few days with family this week before Brian heads up to Gloucester to photograph the over the weekend! The gallery is closed this week, reopening after Labor Day. Watch this space for updated Fall hours. 👀

We hope everyone enjoys the last week of Summer and has a smooth transition back to school! ☀️🌊

Getting back up to Maine to photograph this year was at the top of Brian’s 2024 goals. He hadn’t photographed or participated in this specific series since 2021 🤯. Time flies.

This year’s wild weather and sailing conditions did not disappoint and the photos certainly show that! While we work on culling through this year’s race photos, we’ll looking back on some favorite images from previous years.

We’re currently in the process of printing this image from 2020 for a new collector. 45x30” archival print on aluminum. Excited to see how it turns out!

On delivery from Chesapeake to Nantucket, a large right whale surfaces, creating gentle waves in otherwise tranquil waters.

For me, summer is epitomized by sailboats. My childhood summers were spent sailing around New England, and as an adult, sailing remains my favorite way to relax. Whether it’s a solo cruise or racing on a classic sailboat, the joy of being on the water is something I will never take for granted.

What subjects or events epitomize summer to you?

We’re honored to have this brand new work selected for the 2024 live auction at the Artists Association of Nantucket Gala this coming weekend!

If you’re attending the gala, you can bid on this framed 30x45” archival print on metal to support a wonderful cause.

Summer hours start today!

Nantucket cloaked in a layer of low hanging fog, making this familiar view especially ethereal.

The sea is both friend and foe, teacher and tester. It challenges us, humbles us, and ultimately, if we are lucky, it reveals our true selves. - Web Chiles

I love the angle of this shot & how it makes the viewer feel like they’re floating in the water looking up at Minot. In reality, I wasn’t swimming with my camera, but in a small inflatable (see image 2).

Our doors are back OPEN 🙌🏻🙏🏻😮‍💨! We’re still fine tuning, and plan to have an official “reopening” reception on Saturday, 6/15. Stay tuned for details!

We can’t wait to see you all again!

Temporarily pinning this to our grid for easy access. We hope to have a better idea of our reopening timeline in the next week or so 🤞🏻! .0

As Spring days draw nearer, the anticipation builds for the return of boats to the water.

This time of year always excites me—I know the dark days of winter are behind us and we continue to gain more hours of daylight with each passing day. More daylight means more time to be on or in the water, camera in hand.

There’s a unique sort magic in creating images that transport viewers directly into something I’m so passionate about, a passion I share with so many: the sea.

This past Fall, I went to the tip of Hull to witness the Northeast Regional Open-Water Rowing Championship. Rowing shells have always intrigued me, they are so similar to ocean going boat designs but also so uniquely different. It was a fun challenge to work with a familiar and also new subject. More to come!

Current WIP

Happy February! We took a much needed social hiatus over the last month and have come back full of excitement and energy for the year to come!

The first quarter of each year is a busy time for backend & BTS work for both the fine art and commercial sectors of our business. In an effort keep our blinders on and focus, we are opening up by appointment (or chance!) only this month.

When we lived on Nantucket year round, people would often ask us what we did all winter. My answer was always: head to the beach.

Whether it was catching sunrise on the Eastern part of the island or following the (very early) sunsets out west, there wasn’t a single day I didn’t find myself at the beach with my camera. It may surprise most, but I went to the beach throughout the winter way more frequently than I went in the summer!

I realize that this seems like backward logic in New England, but there’s something pretty breathtaking about golden and blue hours in the winter. Do you agree?

🌬️The response to this photo in our stories the other day was that it needed a permanent spot on the grid!

❄️ Have you seen this cool weather occurrence in person?

Different lighthouse, different perspective. Can you tell us which lighthouse this is?
