Crash and Shana live about a half hour west of me and more in the country. I met Crash in Portland when he was a reporter for the now defunct Casco Bay Weekly. He was one of the first people I met when I moved back to Portland after college. He continues to write and is working on
a book about Medical Marijuana. Shana is a musician and artist and is currently spending most of her time farming and studying herbal healing & tinctures. When I arrived, Crash gave me a tour of the farm while Shana cooked us a delicious their farm to their table dinner.
Matt & Jeanne are also west of me and in the country, but only the next town over. Like Chris & Shana they too have beautiful gardens and a lovely piece of property. I met Matt when we both worked at my dad's law office in Lewiston almost 20 years ago. Matt went to law school on a dare/bet and would keep me entertained for hours telling hilarious stories with his thick Maine accent.
Jeanne started out as a poet and moved into photography in more recent years. She works most with analogue antique black and white processes. She gave me a tour of her new studio (packed full of amazing trinkets & cameras) in a converted garage and darkroom in their cellar.
