Since getting a smart phone for my birthday in the spring, I've noticed that I have strangely been taking less photos, and posting them less on places like Facebook. It seems to have had a reverse psychological effect on my photographic activities, but in organizing them for this post, I realized that I still managed to take a lot this summer.

In June, we took a trip up to Maine with Yvonne's materials for the summer. I have been assisting for Yvonne Jacquette, and after taking up her paintings and supplies, stayed with her for a week! On our way, we stopped in Massachusetts to see the Addison Gallery of American Art:

Edward Hopper, Freight Cars, Gloucester, 1928
Winslow Homer, The West Wind, 1891

We also made a day trip excursion with Yvonne to Skowhegan and the Colby Museum:
Yvonne was a governor there for many years, and we were given a very nice tour of the grounds by Michael Berryhill, artist, former assistant to Yvonne, and returning Dean at Skowhegan
It turned out to be the perfect afternoon to go to a museum--summer rains were pounding down! We got to see two amazing shows at the Colby Museum. Here are images from them both:
