“WE WERE AN ISLAND”

I love the title of the new book about Art and Nan Kellam, a married couple who moved to an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine in 1949 and lived there for 35 years.

The images below are from a previously published book about the couple, Alone Together (another great title) by photographer David Grahm and Nicolas Fox. Notes they left each other and a foot print of each outside their home. Definitely read the NYT article from 2003 when the Alone Together was released.
