Maine

In 2010, I made a trip to Maine for work. It was a seriously fun trip, and I learned all about the professional roles of producer, associate producer, director, AD, 2nd AD, script supervisor, production accountant...

The teacher produced the film "Smoke Signals", which is one of my favorite films from my film classes in college. Here's a great quote from the movie: "How do we forgive our fathers? Maybe in a dream. Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us too often, or forever, when we were little? Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage, or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all? Do we forgive our fathers for marrying, or not marrying, our mothers? Or divorcing, or not divorcing, our mothers? And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness? Shall we forgive them for pushing, or leaning? For shutting doors or speaking through walls? For never speaking, or never being silent? Do we forgive our fathers in our age, or in theirs? Or in their deaths, saying it to them or not saying it. If we forgive our fathers, what is left?"

Here are some photos from the causeway near Rockport, Maine.  It sure seemed to get dark early that far east in the timezone, but the sunset was amazing!  Of course, I think I must have thought everything was amazing


the rock pier...



the cloud out in the moon, the moon in the sky, the rock out in the harbor...


the seagulls...


the amazing sunset...


oh, and let's not forget the lighthouse.

We were there for a week, and really only had a little bit of time for sightseeing.  I'm glad that before we flew home, we took a quick trip to the Portland Lighthouse. 


     

 And like the dedicated tourist, I took plenty of photos.
