Photographing Musicians, On and Off Stage

In an unexpected corner of Midcoast Maine—far from the industry centers of New York and Los Angeles—a group of photographers gathers each October for something rare: direct access to the inner world of music photography, guided by two of its most seasoned practitioners.

How courage and laughter can strengthen community

The tattooed woman took another swig of beer and fiddled with her pencil. The grandma giggled. The pre-teens mouthed lyrics to each other with the authority of true believers. A low hum buzzed around the steel brewing tanks—was that fermentation, or singing?

Both, as it turned out.

Summer recipes by a fifth-generation chicken keeper

Moving to Maine ten years ago from Virginia necessitated my re-learning how to garden in a cold climate where there could be snow on the ground six months of the year.

A Year at the Nubble
Features, Volume 4, Summer 2026

Cape Neddick’s Nubble Lighthouse is one of the most famous lighthouses in Maine and is well preserved, thanks to its keeper for whom each task is a labor of love.

Josephine staples to go from desk to dock 

Working from a home office has a way of softening the edges of personal style—long hours at the computer can slip into a rotation of uninspired staples: slouchy knits, well-worn sweatpants, comfort over intention. At least, that’s where Karen and I found ourselves after a year of building MyMaine from the ground up.

With an eye toward refinement and ease, we turned to Janet Kooyenga, owner of Josephine at the Shops at Falmouth Square, to curate looks that move effortlessly from daytime meetings to evening gatherings with friends—each ensemble capturing that luminous, golden-hour energy that defines a Maine summer.
