Ruohomaa鈥檚 lens captured the villagers taking a 鈥済ander鈥� in the general store, the tough farmers, woodsmen, river drivers, and fishermen who worked with their hands close to land and sea.听Kosti Ruohomaa鈥檚 Beloved听Maine听selects images of Ruohomaa鈥檚 poetic听sensitivity not only of the people and rugged geography, but his visions of Maine鈥檚 winter, winter nights, and the rugged coastal landscape.

Ruohomaa was a storyteller with his camera. He captured the spirit and culture of Maine through its people and landscape like few other photographers have ever done. Ruohomaa鈥檚 photographs were featured in various publications including听Life Magazine,听Look,听National Geographic,听Ladies Home Journal, and听Down East. In 2018, a large collection of Ruohomaa鈥檚 work was given to Penobscot Marine Museum by his agency, Black Star of New York. This collection is a remarkable resource. While his published work is fairly well known, it represents less than 10% of the photographs he made; the rest of his photographs had never been seen by the general public.

This event is part of 天美传媒鈥檚 series exploring the artists, writers, and innovators who shaped and chronicled Maine鈥檚 mid-century cultural evolution.听Maine鈥檚 Mid-Century Moment听has been made possible in part by a major grant from the听.
