Autorenporträt
As we look back at our past in the images collected here, we see that times were harder and life simpler in the old days, but that every photograph proclaims a sense of community and pride. As Frank Spizuoco writes in his introduction: I just love these people. With all their idiosyncracies, warmth, meanness, concern, generosity: I love them. The lives of these people had to be recorded. There is so much humanity to tell about: people defining an age. The people who live, laugh, love, and die define an age, define a community, define Dexter. History tells us who we are as a people, and the photographs left behind help us tell the story of the people who lived here. The photographs chosen for this book were meant to say something, to relate a story that is part of our culture. To show the sinews of life, and to help hand down the heritage of rural Maine. I want to give people a sense of continuity, to bridge a generation gap, to show how fascinating ordinary life can be. I want the world to know these people, how they lived, and what they did.
