A Maine Point of View | Nick Lavecchia uses the freezing cold as inspiration
Nick Lavecchia has been using the inhospitable winters of Maine to create beautiful images for ages. In this video Nick describes the inspiration he gets out of the freezing cold mornings and light that is only available in that part of the world. Main actually has the coldest recorded sea temperatures of anywhere, yet still has a core year-round surf scene.
Slowtide and Banks Journal are doing a collab with Nick Lavecchia right now using some of his artwork as a canvas to dry you off.
“There are many ways to interpret the word canvas. A wave can be a canvas for a surfboard, drawing constant lines through movement. A piece of ruled paper in the hands of an author can quickly become a pivotal moment in a story and a catalyst for the imagination. Together, Banks Journal & Slowtide have transformed the simple beach towel into an exclusive canvas for some of their favorite photographers to capture moments in time and share with you. We recently followed one featured photographer, Nick LaVecchia, around his hometown in Maine to better understand his places for inspiration when he uses a camera in lieu of a paintbrush and a strip of film as a canvas. We hope you enjoy the beginning of this exclusive towel series and encourage you to participate with your own photos, who knows, your creation may be featured next.”
