"To me, wooden boats speak volumes about dreams and disasters. That's what this book of images seeks to tell. From marinas and waterways throughout the Northwest, I looked for boats with stories. Boats with hulls bent, beat and burnished from a lifetime of near misses; simple rowboats and skiffs that reflect the water's light as a liquid mirror in a perfectly still hand; and polished wooden hulls that speak of a loving hand that lavished hours of salt and sweat. These boats -- sturdy and shaky craft – tell a story."
