Island Originals

Ten photographs

Summer arrives on Nantucket in chrome, weathered wood and colors that refuse to go unnoticed. Along cobbled streets and sandy tracks, cherished classics and joyful eccentrics carry their own histories into the salt air. Island Originals is a portrait of that motoring spirit: beautiful lines, uncommon characters, and the quiet pleasure of taking the long way home.
