Night Train at Wiscasset Station: an unforgettable portrait of Maine and its people.
Camden, Maine, Down East, (1977, 1998). Fine large size PB. Beautiful condition! Photographer Kosti first knocked on Andrew Wyeth's door on a June evening in 1950, the beginning of a. warm and rewarding friendship. I had seen his work in the pages of Life magazine. They had moved me. It was as if he had been present at some intimate moment and had caught its meaning at the instant of revelation. His Finnish heritage played an enormous part in his genius. Northern people like the Finns, withdrawn though they may appear, are capable of extreme passion. He had the insight and intelligence to see through his lens the essential character of Maine and its people." Night Train is an exploration by photograph and essay of life in Maine as it was in the decades following WWII. It is the seamless collaboration between two respected observers of Maine culture. "No one was more aware than Ruohomaa and Dietz that they were documenting a way of life that was raidly passing." From the publisher on a separate review sheet included with the book.
