EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Paul Franklin showcases the serene beauty of Tilghman Island, Maryland. The image captures a picturesque harbor scene where skipjacks, the last working sailboats in America, are moored gracefully. With their sails rolled up and neatly tied with ropes, these fishing boats rest peacefully on the calm waters of Chesapeake Bay. The composition of the photograph emphasizes the stunning white prow of one particular skipjack against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The horizontal frame perfectly encapsulates a sunny day on this charming island, highlighting its significance in Maryland's fishing industry. As there are no people present in the photo, it allows viewers to focus solely on the natural elements and maritime heritage depicted. This absence also adds an air of tranquility to the scene as if time has momentarily stood still. Paul Franklin's skillful lens work beautifully captures not only the physical attributes but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when sailing boats were at their prime. This print is truly a testament to Tilghman Island's rich history and serves as a reminder that traditions can be preserved even amidst modernization.
