The Porthole's hanging sign anchors wooden siding, walkways and cobblestones leading toward smaller distant storefronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hanging Coca-Cola sign caught my attention first, then the empty street drew my eye beyond it. I photographed Custom House Wharf in Portland, Maine, in the early hours of an overcast morning in 2009. With the roadway quiet, I could give the buildings, wooden walkway and uneven cobblestones the full frame. The Porthole’s sign became a clear point of focus along that long perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts stacked panels stand out against the close horizontal lines of the siding. Windows repeat along the upper floor, while doors and storefront openings form a second rhythm below. I like the way the wooden sidewalk follows the building’s edge, creating a narrow path beside the broader cobbled road. Both lead towards the distant end of the street, where the shapes become smaller and closer together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack and white gives equal attention to the pale walls, darker upper siding and irregular stone surfaces. The soft sky keeps the lighting restrained, making the texture of the street especially noticeable in the foreground. Overhead wires add a few fine lines across the open space. For me, this photograph carries the character of Portland’s waterfront through its everyday architecture and familiar sign. As a print, it offers a quiet New England street scene with a strong sense of depth, inviting the eye to follow the wharf beyond the immediate storefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2009\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571352637519,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592498217039,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40739768467535,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67593224814671,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40739768500303,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67594015080527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40739768533071,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594844176463,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40739768565839,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595701583951,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40739768598607,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600662134863,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185713553487,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67597253017679,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185765097551,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805491396687,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804798222415,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804857761871,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747706241103,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Custom-House-Wharf-Portland-Maine-Black-and-White-Street-Photography-1.jpg?v=1791619041","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/custom-house-wharf-portland-maine","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
