Product Description

This endeavor, several years in the planning and in execution, culminates Fields’ odyssey all around Cape Cod making photographs of its towns and villages, bodies of water, landscapes, architecture, sights and attractions, personalities and unique way of life. Cape Cod’s magnificent natural, historic and architectural beauties unfold in page after page of remarkable and truly awe-inspiring photography.

Cape Cod and the National Seashore represents a milestone in photographic history. Never before has the Cape been so compellingly represented in this medium. Capturing the off-beat, heretofore unseen and untrammeled Cape, Fields committed two years to photographing the Cape in all of its moods, nuances and natural splendor. Natural and man-made, summer and winter, new and old, the myriad personae of Cape Cod are revealed for all to revel in within its 144 pages. Wendy Northcross, CEO of the Cape Cod Chamber, claimed that "Fields has captured the very essence of Cape Cod."

A Great Photographic Collection for Cape Cod Lovers
CAPE COD AND THE NATIONAL SEASHORE is Charles Fields' second book of images from Cape Cod. Fields, along with his wife painter Gail Rogers Fields, are both well known Cape Cod artists with a gallery in Provincetown. Like his first book, Fields' captures the recognizable Cape Cod sites as well as the lesser known side of Cape Cod. The book includes landscapes, seascapes, nature shots, people, and places. Many of Fields' images are off the beat and track such as his shots of Barnstable's' Sandy Neck Light and the dune shacks of Provincetown. Other places are familiar such as Truro's Days Cottages. Whether it is the familiar or not so familiar, Fields has the eye of an artist and the images he captures seem new even to people who know the Cape well.

This coffee table book is a must for lovers of Cape Cod. It will also find a home in the libraries of people who love good photography.
