While putting together the Belgrade lakes story this morning for my website, I found this image of Ben and his dog Lily. Editorial shoots come with their own set of challenges, short amounts of time to tell a story, coordinating schedules of key players, and in this case a lack of local knowledge and connections. @briankevinme of @downeastmagazine connected me with Ben Ford for this story. Ben, Barb, and their dog Lily we so helpful and accommodating! From finding someone to drive me around the lake for the sailing regatta, to waking up before sunrise and carting me around in their vintage Lyman boat “Junebug.” No way this story would have happened with out their help! Thank you Ben, Barb, and Lily! . The more I do this the more I realize my favorite part of this job is getting to meet total strangers and getting to share some stories and laughs together. After all, I think that’s what being human is all about? . . . #Belgradelakes #Belgrademaine #visitmaine #maine #mainesummer #lakelife #laketime #mainelakes #lymanboats #vintageboats #lyman #downeastmagazine #boats #swimming #michaeldwilsonphoto #exploringmaine #mainetime #editorialphotographer #dreaming #workhardplayhard #worktrip #onassignment #humans (at Great Pond.

Great pond spans several towns outside of Belgrade Maine and is home to one of the last US mail routes delivered by boat. John Govostes has been delivering mail for five years on this route. Each morning in the summer he loads his boat behind the Post Office in Belgrade and heads out on the water. Along the way he interacts with residents and even pets a dog or two!* When he's not delivering mail John can be found playing table tennis, which he is a two time Maine state champion of! I really love when a photo story has smaller micro stories within it. Shot as part of the Belgrade Lakes feature for @downeastmagazine . . . *Side note, dogs disliking letter carriers is a real thing! My mom was a letter carrier for 35 years and was bite four separate times by dogs. So watching John pet dogs along the way filled me with a little fear and a bunch of amazement. . . . #Maine #Mainemail #lettercarrier #Uspostalservice @uspostalservice #usmail #BelgradeMaine #Mainelakes #specialdelivery #summertime #mainesummer #onlyinmaine #mainejobs #tabletennis #champion #editoralphotographer @mwphotographic #michaelwilsongphotography #michaeldwilson #boats #mailboat #mainething (at US Post Office) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GYPJsA3u3/?igshid=ewkwqciirfnu

Sometimes assignments come along where you find yourself working really hard and simultaneously really really enjoying yourself! This is precisely how I felt when @benjaminwilliamsonphotography of @downeastmagazine sent me to the town of Belgrade to photograph some of the magic that is Maine in the summer time! . . . #Belgradelakes #Belgrademaine #visitmaine #mainelife #mainesummer #lakelife #laketime #mainelakes #blueskies #downeastmagazine #boats #swimming #lilydog #maine #michaeldwilsonphoto #exploringmaine #mainetime #editorialphotographer #dreaming #mainething #workhardplayhard #worktrip #onassignment (at Belgrade, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9XT70gwVQ/?igshid=172kmlzq8ixqn
