What do I do with the archive of photos I have accumulated over half a century? I jumped in with both feet and produced a book titled “WORKING WATERFRONT”. These are images of Newport’s waterfront, which has long since disappeared from the landscape; along with those who worked there.

Each photo has a story connected to it for me. Anecdotes unconnected other than by the waterfront that I remember in these photographs.
