All kinds of boats have the gift to transform the nature itself of the surrounding elements. The great photographers know how to catch and communicate these wonderful moments, when matters are in close communion. Through his camera and as a real nautical artist, Benjamin Mendlowitz devotes his life to watch out for light, just when she illuminates a sail or reveals the soft lines of a hull.

With WOOD, WATER AND LIGHT, the reader travels in the most beautiful american nautical places. Each chapter is dedicated to a different boat, sailing boat, motor or rowing boat, pleasure or fishing boat.

The descriptions of Joël White, a famous naval architect, perfectly go with the varied illustrated themes. They give to read all that you need to know to appreciate the photographer's choice.
One of the merits of that book is that it puts no bounds between the different types of classic boats lovers. What matters is the timelessness of gestures, allowing all these boats to sail again, despite their age and destiny.
