I am not from Maine. I do not own a home here, nor do I regularly vacation here. However, despite my outsider status, Maine became my 2020 saving grace. I live and work in Baltimore, Maryland, as a photographer and builder. My work weeks range from remodeling kitchens for clients to taking new photos for a creative project. My oldest friend is the Maine person that I am not. His grandfather set roots here, his father grew up here, and now he is sharing Maine with his family. Lucky for me, I have had the privilege of visiting their home in Tenants Harbor on multiple occasions. However, it wasn\u2019t until 2020 that I truly took time to appreciate the beauty, the peacefulness, and the diversity of this amazing part of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
