Goodbye 2017

Time to bid farewell to 2017, which has been a great year personally (buying a house, getting engaged, traveling to Ireland, getting a promotion at work,  etc) and photographically (as you can see whenever I post here).

Instead of getting all sentimental, here is a photo I particularly enjoyed from each month of the past year. Note that the full archives of this site, dating back to 2008, are available at any time. Happy New Year!

Schoolhouse, Cliff Island

Did you know that Maine's largest city has a one-room schoolhouse? It's located on Cliff Island, which has approximately 60 year-round residents. I got to explore this intresting part of Portland in October.

Rope on a Boat

A bit of yellow rope, on a boat. For whatever reason I usually find these ropes worth taking a photo of when I am headed to one of the islands.

Portland, Maine: The 2018 Calendar

It's the time of year to unpack the winter jackets, drink lots of hot cocoa and most importantly: Buy a calendar for 2018! What better calendar to start with than my annual effort, available now for just $20 here. Thanks everyone for supporting my photography over the years and letting me continue to share my perspective of this little city with you all.

Portland, Maine 2018 Photo Calendar by photographer Corey Templeton. Buy now!

Fishermans Cove, November 2017

A few boats at Fishermans Cove on Cliff Island. Interestingly (to me), this side of the island seems to have more marine activity than the side facing towards land, where the Casco Bay Lines ferry docks.

Lincoln Park and Fountain

Some photos of the recently refurbished fountain in Portland's Lincoln Park. The fountain was cast in Paris in 1870 and is one of just three that exist in America. The whole park has been spruced up as well and is looking better than I can ever recall.
