  • ABOUTJim Dugan came to Maine in 1989 to study photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops (now the Maine Media Workshops). He stuck around, working first as a photographer’s assistant, then as a designer. He continues to seek a balance between photography and design. (Photo credit for rowing picture: Capt. Barry King of the schooner Mary Day) When the web came along, he decided to learn a bit about it. Within a few days, he had created a web site. Not one he would let you see all these years later, mind you, but he realized that this was sure to be crucially important in the future. Jim teaches photography for a week every summer aboard the schooner Mary Day, where he has also served as relief crew and sails a few times every summer. A few years ago, he took up Shakespearean acting when he tried out for Hamlet with Camden Civic Theatre. He got a minor role and by the end of rehearsals had wangled his way into two other parts (finally doing Rosencrantz, the doctor and a knight). Since then, he’s had parts in As You Like It, The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, and…

    • SERVICESI delight in versatility and live for the challenges my clients bring me. Photography “Yes, it’s a picture of a tree. But what else is it a picture of?” Minor White I make a considerable part of my living from taking pictures that are designed to sell things. So why am I quoting a fine-art photographer and educator who might consider me a bit of a sell-out? Because I don’t think the line between art and commercial illustration is that clear and bright. I’m trying to move people and I would argue that the artist is trying to manipulate emotions in many similar ways. The outcome may be different but we both use similar tools and techniques. The word photography comes from two Greek words that together mean “drawing with light.” This is perhaps the single most important thing to know about photography. It is with light — not cameras, computers, chemicals, models, assistants — that we make pictures. Knowing how to use the light that’s there, improve on it, or create great light from scratch is the key to making pictures that move people.

    Your pictures taken from the last sail 2011 on the Mary Day are awesome. I can picture them on the cover of a magazine or a vacation advertisement as they look so inviting & relaxing. I was on the same sail and I saw the same things first hand… yet your photos have captured the beauty in a way that my own eyes did not see… they are simply brilliant.

    I WENT ON THE MARY DAY FOR A WEEK ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. ALTHOUGH THE SHIP LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN TOTALLY OVERHAULED THE SCENEARY IS THE SAME. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, I CAN FEEL THE RELAXATION!!

    Thanks very much Linda and Sandy. Yes, Sandy, I suspect she’s changed a bit over 40 years. She’s almost 50 years old now, launched in 1962.

    Jim,

    I love the shot of you lying in the water shooting the can!!! One of the things I teach in my workshops is to stop shooting everything from the same position.

    So many students shoot at the same height. By coincidence, it’s where their eyes just happen to be. I’ll have to direct them to this photo!!!

    🙂

    Yep, I agree but that’s not me. I took the picture partly because I also appreciate it when people go the extra mile. I remember hearing years ago, a photographer saying, “Who shoots sports the best? Sports Illustrated. What do they do different from everybody else? They get up higher and down lower. They use the longest lenses and the shortest lenses.” In other words, they’re looking for extreme picture, the one beyond what everybody else is getting.
    Words to live by.
    And by the way, that’s not a can. It’s a plastic garden gnome. This is a guy from Tennessee who takes this gnome wherever he goes (hiking, biking, on vacation, etc.) and photographs it in those places. It was fun to have it along on the trip, though it freaked the captain out a bit.
