Rumford

Last week I found myself in the town of Rumford, on a shoot for Down East Magazine. I wouldn’t necessarily say that Rumford is a tourist destination, but I’m not supposed to talk about what I was shooting there…just keep an eye out for the June issue. Anyway, Rumford is a Mill Town. There are lots of them in Maine, and Rumford is one that is still quite busy. After shooting, I had a little bit of time to walk around and explore…I was thrilled! I’ve been there before, but never with the express goal of photographing it. Despite the backdrop of the mill, whose working parts are visible from nearly every part of the town, it is an utterly charming place. For those of you who are not from around here, and want a true taste of the State on your way up Route 2, make sure to swing through! Though I have plans to head back that way soon, I couldn’t resist posting a teaser about this quaint little place. Below is an image of the Mill…it looks old, but it’s just Photoshop. Can’t wait to get back!
