April's Last Sunrise

This Saturday morning sunrise near Sail Maine headquarters on the Eastern Waterfront. Sail Maine is a "community sailing center," which provides "access to the water through community sailing and educational programming."

Waites Landing, Falmouth

From a pleasant afternoon bicycle ride out to the end of Waites Landing Road in Falmouth. 

Garden Season

Flowers in bloom at the First Parish Portland Unitarian Universalist Church on Congress Street.

Wharf Side

Looking down the west side of Maine Wharf. The fancy new restaurant Scales is located on the right.

Picture in Picture

Walking past an old storefront on the corner of State and Pine Streets in the West End. The old tenant in this spot, "The Frame Shop," recently moved out to Gorham. Any guesses on what will move into this spot next?

Something in the Air

Spring is in the air and on the trees around here.

Classic

A quiet spring morning on Fore Street. I'd consider this stretch of buildings to be representative of that "classic Portland" look.

Portland Downtown 2016/2017

You'll notice one of my photos on the cover and throughout the Portland Downtown map and directory again this year. It's always cool to see this one around town! [The delicious quiche in the photo was provided by Arabica).

Light Behind the Square

Some nice late-afternoon sunlight hitting the backside of Congress Square.

Longfellow on Marion St.

Speaking of Mr. Longfellow, check out this artistic mural featuring his likeness. This is along Marion Street, a convenient connection between Washington Avenue and Sheridan Street/Sumner Park.

A Bit of Spring in the Square

A hint of spring in Longfellow Square yesterday.

The Old Neighorbood

A recent sunset over the India Street Neighborhood. This neighborhood, tucked between the Old Port and Munjoy Hill, is one of Portland's oldest. Last November the City Council accepted the India Street Sustainable Neighborhood Plan which lays out a framework for preservation as well as future development.

Widgery West

The west side of old Widgery Wharf at low tide. I was pleased to have captured the three seagulls looking rather synchronized.

Lantern

A gas-powered lantern still hanging in the West End of Portland, Maine.

The Sound of Corey Templeton Photography

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed down at One City Center for WJBQ's (97.9 on the FM dial) "97 Seconds" feature. Give it a listen here. You can tell by my voice that my photography is the only way I'd ever get airtime on a top-40 radio station! And in case you missed it, at the end of last month I was also featured in an episode about Instagram for the Social Dig Podcast. 

Portland Sunset Silhouette

A Thursday throwback to a pretty rad sunset from South Portland. Taken in August 2014.

Landmarks

Have you seen the new Greater Portland Landmarks website? A good place to start is their inaugural blog posting, which features a few words from me. You'll notice a bunch of my photos up all over the site as well. It's pretty cool to work with the organization that is helping to preserve many of the buildings that play a role in my photographs.

Down on Dana Street

Down on Dana Street, looking towards the back entrance of Central Provisions.

Just a Dusting

Just a dusting of snow this morning, enough to confuse the flowers I suppose.
