Lighthouse Podcast
A 76-foot granite lighthouse tower was built on Halway Rock, far out in Maine’s Casco Bay, in the summer of 1871. After his time as a keeper at Halfway Rock (1971-72), Tim Bailey was stationed at Boothbay Harbor, Maine, then Seguin Light Station off the mouth of the Kennebec River. In this interview, he discusses his experiences as a keeper. Joining in on the interview is Ford Reiche, the owner of Halfway Rock Lighthouse. Photographer Mike Leonard offers workshops on digital photography, which you can read about on his website at phototourismbymike.com. In this installment of “Photo Tips with Mike Leonard” he discusses night photography of lighthouses.
