Out On The Shoals
Twenty Years of Photography on the Isles of Shoals
by Peter E. Randall
This extended photographic essay will delight lovers of coastal New England. Since 1973, Peter Randall
has been photographing the magnificent Isles of Shoals, located about six miles off the coast
of New Hampshire. The result of many trips to the islands in all seasons is a book of
spectacular color photographs covering the Shoals from sunrise to sunset, from wildflowers
to Celia Thaxter's garden, and from unique bird colonies to the surprising colors of the intertidal
zone. Picturesque buildings on Star Island, the rugged beauty of Appledore, crashing waves on White
Island and its famed light, and abandoned stone walls of Smuttynose all are captured by Randall and
his camera in an unforgettable portrait of one of New England's most exceptional natural places.
