Jason Goldstein is a professional photographer based in Sandwich, where he operates a portrait studio specializing in family portraits, seniors, headshots, and other personal photography. His passion for photography began in 2015 after spotting bald eagles during a trip to Prince Edward Island, Canada, inspiring him to pursue wildlife photography. Although he has always loved animals and nature, it was within the last decade that he began exploring and photographing wildlife more seriously. In 2019, he opened Jason Goldstein Photography, focusing on creating emotional, high-quality portraits that preserve meaningful memories for his clients. Jason balances his photography business with family life alongside his wife, Sherrie, their two children, and their rescue pets, while continuing to enjoy wildlife photography whenever he can.

Artist: Ben Berke

2025. Photograph. 20 x 28 (size in inches; allow for slight variance due to rounding).

Ben Berke worked as a reporter and photojournalist in New Bedford from 2021 to 2025, documenting a period of significant change. His first gallery show, "Dead Whale City," collected 18 pictures that present harsher conditions than the nostalgic imagery that defines many New England seaports. Still, his pictures express a continuity with the old New Bedford that Herman Melville wrote about, where cannibals walked the streets and opulent homes were dragged up from the bottom of the sea. New Bedford today retains that remarkable diversity and frontier energy, and the textures of its built environment have only grown more complex over the centuries.

Can you believe this is a boat hull?

Barry Beder is a photographer known for discovering striking imagery on the weathered hulls of boats along the Cape Cod shoreline. His photographs-never digitally altered-capture abstract compositions that resemble painted seascapes and dreamlike vistas, appearing exactly as they exist in the real world. Mysterious, evocative, and often unexplainable, these works invite viewers to slow down and see beauty in unexpected places. His award-winning HullScapes series has been exhibited in numerous Cape Cod art museums and galleries. As Barry says, "I hope we can find and reclaim the beauty in our world. We don't always see or feel the love and beauty around us. It's there. We need to keep looking."

Artist: Susan Simon

2025. Photograph. 16 x 20 (size in inches; allow for slight variance due to rounding).

Photographer Susan Simon experiments with the use of light in her images. She works to capture Cape Cod's variable light, the reflections of sky in water, and the curves of marsh and dune. In addition to seascapes and landscapes, her special focus for the past few years has been on flowers and the shapes and surprises found with a macro lens, including the wonder and uniqueness of every wave, and the osprey who nest near her favorite beach.
