The Goat Island Lighthouse off the coast at Cape Porpoise has an interesting history, see http://lighthouse.cc/goat/history.html

The point at Moody Beach, Wells, Maine

This point of land and neighbouring basin, the site of one of Maine's earliest settlements, was where my ancestor Morgan Howell lived in the 1630s.

JED: My name is Jan Dymond and I live in Toronto, Canada. I wear many hats in my day to day life, but this blog is for my photography - the one passion that has stayed constant throughout my life. I studied photography under Michael De Moree who continues to inspire me decades later through his blog - Silverpixel. After working for a short period for a weekly newspaper in the early seventies, career opportunities took me in a different direction. However, three years ago, I picked up my cameras again. At the same time I enrolled at Ryerson's CE photography program going right back to the basics with darkroom 101. So the term 2nd Curtain is more than a technical reference - it reflects my return to photography. My main interest is in documentary photography; however, this blog will include a variety of images. As I develop individual projects I will post links to their galleries. The photos I post to this blog are a combination of digital and scanned film images, both current and from my archives.
