Stories have been around for as long as people have existed to tell them. Evolving from images on walls, to the spoken word, to the written word, and all the combinations in between.
Some stories were told to try and explain the greatest mysteries of the day. Others helped alleviate fears that lingered in people’s minds. Everywhere these different cultures went, their stories went with them. Block Island is no different.
Reflection is a natural part of our lives. We take pictures to capture the moment not for the present, but to look back on weeks, months, and years down the road.
