Schooner
Alison's photos, together with writer Tom Dunlop's compelling prose, chronicle the building of a 60-foot wooden schooner at Gannon and Benjamin Boat yard on Martha's Vineyard. The story begins with a dream and a handful of drawings, and ends with the schooner's first sail in Vineyard Sound. |

View sample pages from inside the book
"The majestic sweep of the Gay Head cliffs, the riotous color of the weekly farmers' market and annual county fair, haunting sunsets over land and sea, salt-air-weathered houses, and white sand beaches are all captured here in evocative detail. Alison Shaw's breathtaking photographs provide the perfect introduction to the Vineyard for those who have dreamed of vacationing here as well as a portrait of the Island that longtime visitors will cherish."
— From the jacket of Vineyard Summer
"There are photographers who travel the world. And there are photographers who travel the world in their backyards. Alison Shaw is one of the latter. On first glance, one might wonder if the Italian printers exhausted their ink stocks with the printing of Vineyard Summer, so rich and intense are the hues. Images jump from the pages in glowing beauty, a tribute to Shaw's sense of light and composition. "
— The Boston Globe
"We have all heard of Martha's Vineyard, the great vacation island.
For those of us without the time or opportunity to visit this fabled place,
Alison Shaw has produced a book of photos so fine that the viewer feels like a native.
Ms. Shaw shows a remarkable eye for color, producing at her best, photographs
which are almost impressionistic. ... The photos celebrate life, light and color
and have a cheerful, happy feel to them in stark contrast to most of the other work
that crosses my desk these days. Photographers need not be pessimists. Apparently
Alison Shaw feels the same way."
