For years, I've watched Melanie Thompson capture the quiet beauty of our coastal towns—the way morning fog softens the harbor, the weathered hands of a fisherman mending nets. She doesn't just take pictures; she tells our stories. Her recent series on the old lighthouses, shot entirely on medium format film, feels like a love letter to a place that's changing too fast. That's why, when people ask who truly sees this region, her name is always the first one mentioned.
