Join us for the opening reception for our February show, featuring the photography of Roger McCord: “Dawn to Dusk: Archetypes of the Working Waterfront.” The show’s inception began just a few months ago, with a single trip to the Schooner Warf area on Rockland’s waterfront. “That one trip became too,” says McCord, “which became three months of frequent visits to document the lobster operations.” Every image tells a different part of the story of Rockland’s working waterfront.Roger McCord is a career media producer, from photojournalism to video production. He and his wife, Dr. Su Sepples, moved to Rockland from the Portland area in April of 2025.Light refreshments will be served. The show will be on display at the library through February, and is viewable during open hours except from 10:15-11:30am on Tuesdays, when the gallery room is closed for yoga.
