It’s been just over a decade since I photographed Martha’s Vineyard off-season for New York Times Travel. A goal for many in artistic fields is for their work to stand the test of time and “age well”. I don’t know if I can take credit for the fact that I still love these images 10 years later, because it’s Martha’s Vineyard itself which is pretty timeless.
These classic Massachusetts gents seemed fo me to have a tradition of gathering for coffee, news and heckling photographers on their bench outside Alley's General Store — I loved them.
All. Of. This. Alley's General Store

Up-island chillin’ in Chilmark 🦞
A place where the honor system still exists. I drove by this same stand today, a decade later. 🩷
