  • Every year since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Kurt Martin has attached an American flag to one weir pole at each of his five weir traps. Orleans fisherman, Kurt Martin, owns and operates one of the last weirtrap fishing outfits left on Cape Cod. Weirs are an ancient form of trapping fish. They were used by Native Americans hundreds of years ago and have changed little since. They're an environmentally friendly form of fishing as, unlike in other forms of commercial fishing, undersized fish are not caught alongside adult fish.

  • What I love so much about stand up paddle boarding is its ability to transport one, surrounded by nature, to a quiet, meditative state. On a perfect full moon, windless evening in late September, I got to photograph the nighttime version of this. Waterproof LED lights are attached to the bottom of the boards, illuminating the water below which meant the paddlers could see fish passing by. I photographed this from a jetty at a harbor near my<br />
house and was stunned by the beauty of it.

  • The hands of Alice Mendes,105, and her great-grandniece, Sophie Friend,12, lie intertwined on Alice's lap. The two have always had a powerful connection and have been pen pals for the past few years. Alice, who despite her age, remains the adored family matriarch, immigrated to the United States as an infant from Cape Verde in 1910. “Things were really different back then. No gas stoves, no street lights or traffic lights. I remember my mother getting up early in the morning to start the coal stove so that the house would be warm when we woke up,” she explains. Alice spent much of her life working as a nanny and housekeeper and married the love of her life, Jimmy Mendes, a professional boxer and fisherman who ended up dying at sea in a storm.

  • Musician and Cape Wellness Collaborative founder, Sarah Swain, 44, is photographed in her Harwich home with her three children, from left, Jessie, 10, Lucy, 12 and Stanley, 4. Sarah's mother, grandmother and uncle all passed away from cancer which was the impetus for starting Cape Wellness Collaborative--a non-profit organization that provides integrative wellness therapies for people on the Cape and Islands facing cancer. "Ironically, I never got around to getting mammograms, I think they subconsciously terrified me due to my family history. After admitting this to my board members, they pretty much forced me to get one," she explains. While Sarah's mammogram showed no signs of cancer, she was urged to get genetically tested and discovered she had the CALP2 gene, a rare gene mutation that carries the same risks for cancer as the BRCA2 gene. 'What to do with this information is a very personal decision," she explains. "After losing my mother to cancer when she was 52, it came down to me doing everything in my power to help ensure I am here for my kids," she says. Weeks before this photo was taken Sarah underwent a prophylactic double mastectomy and oophorectomy (removal of ovaries and tubes). Around the same time that Sarah found out about her genetic mutation, her husband, Steve, had a heart attack and also discovered he has a genetic heart defect. "He had to have surgery a few months before me and it was a very intense time for the family," she recalls. "It really makes you aware of what you hold most precious in life," she says. Sarah and her husband decided they needed to decompress and reconnect as a family by taking some time away from their lives. "We took six months and went on a sailing trip down the inter-coastal waterway then through Bahamas and homeschooled the kids," she explains. "It was amazing---the best thing we ever did as a family!" she adds.
