Inspired by David Graham's book "Alone Together," which reveals the secretive life of a pair of solitary lovers in a collection of pictures that resound with the beauty of the windswept island they inhabited. Arthur and Nan Kellam left California and their defense industry work just after World War II, establishing a life without "the burden of abundance" on Placentia Island, just off the coast of Maine. Their small cabin was their refuge from civilizationa haven they shared only with each otherand when they left it, their home remained untouched. These intriguing photographs, showing every cup, book, and letter exactly where the Kellams left them, speak of the deep love of two people for each other and for the natural beauty around them.

He's shot a wide variety of subjects from executive portraits and theatre to food and interiors. "I like the variety of work that I can show at Farmboy," he says.
