Lapstrack Relfections


This detail from the reflection of a Lapstrake Wherry was taken on a beautiful day while attending a workshop at the Maine Photographic Workshop http://www.theworkshops.com/ in Rockport, Maine. The programs and week long seminars they offer are an excellent way to connect with other working photographers and spend some quality time under the tutilage of masters of the art.

The Lapstrake construction design is utilized in many boat patterns, here as a Wherry, which is a beautiful and versatile small boat that can be outfitted with sails, used as a yacht tender or as it was here, a simple rowboat.

The workshop was a yearly pilgrimage for me as time and the corporate budgets allowed and was always a place of enrichment, connection, learning, joy in new vision and as you see here, reflection.
