This holiday season I offer you the gift of eye-candy from some of my favorite regional fine-art photographers. They each capture the often stark and stunning beauty of the buildings and places we know as home in New England. For a real treat, I encourage you to visit their websites and browse their online galleries.

"Round Church Door" by Tom Way, courtesy of his website.For years, I held on to a note card I bought which had this photo by Tom Way on the front. I simply couldn't part with the image. Who would want to?

"Fish Shack, Maine" by John G. Kelley, courtesy of his websiteI find John G. Kelley's photography and words particularly compelling.
