About the Book
Here, There and Elsewhere is the latest New England photography collection from Shawn Fitzgerald. From the coastal areas of Northern Massachusetts to Maine and places in-between, Here, There and Elsewhere is a unique combination of travels and tales.
From the Foreword: This summer -in the midst of trying to come up with a permanent title for this book-, a friend of mine shared a Gaelic saying with me: "An té a bhíonn siúlach bíonn sé scéalach." Translated, it means "Travelers have tales to tell." I liked that saying quite a bit, and it stuck with me. However, I wasn't sure it would work as a book title. While it didn't make the cut, it inspired me to do something I haven't done in my previous books: open up a bit and share more with the reader other than just photos. While you won't find deep tales of photographer soul-searching and adventure over the course of the next 100 or so pages, you will find a mix of anecdotes, historical information on the locations and the occasional attempt at humor (underline 'attempt').
This is a book divided into three parts. "Here" travels in and around the Massachusetts North Shore, a region previously covered in my first book North Of Boston. "There" takes us north to the great state of Maine, while "Elsewhere" acts as the book's "Miscellaneous," a collection of images I loved that I didn't want to discard but could fit into the other two sections.
