Capturing Maine: Terrell S. Lester
<p>In prior months I have included articles on fine artists like Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth—artists who captured the essence of Maine in their paintings. This month I would like to focus on a photographer who has likewise made significant artistic contributions. Terrell S. Lester, though not a native-born Mainer, has resided in Maine since 1986, since his first visit to the Deer Isle area.</P>
