Brine: Rhode Island’s Treasured Landscapes, by Nicole Capobianco
This book of photography offers new perspectives on classic landmarks. Capobianco says of her book: “With over 400 miles of coastline, salt permeates and sculpts the land, and everything on it. A meditation on such a landscape, with elements of preservation, transformation and even corrosion, brine is one of the pleasures and challenges of life on the coast.”
