The magazine of the photo-essay
Dec 2018 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by Gary Briechle
Winter is always too long. Put the plow on the truck, stay warm, take your meds. Get through it any way you can. Spring is
mud. Summer, the stunning but brief reward. Then the fall into winter again.
Gary Briechle has forged many long-term relationships with the people he has photographed since moving to Maine
nearly 20 years ago. This gives his work a peculiar intimacy, as if the pictures were made by a family member. He lives
and works in midcoast Maine and doesn’t see a need to travel to make photographs: “Most everything that inspires
me is within a few miles of my home. Sometimes I think that Maine is like my foster family; I’m not really entirely
comfortable and will probably never feel completely settled, but Maine keeps feeding me.”
