A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Alison McCreery for the blog, ‘Photographers on Photography’. Today the interview went live: http://popphoto.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/matthewturley/
Some images from a pleasant trip to Nantucket back in July. I had originally planned to rent a plane and island hop from Long Island (via Matha’s Vineyard) but the forecast called for a fair amount of sea mist over the sound, and as I’m not IFR-certified I decided to play it safe and took [...]
