​Rebecca Skinner​ ​is a contemporary photographer, living in Franklin, MA. She is a core artist member of the Fountain Street Gallery in Boston and graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. ​Abandoned buildings serve as the focus of her most recent series of photographs. She portrays these facilities not only as a preserved instance of a forgotten time, but as the summation of the place’s history and beauty.

 Peter Jardim currently resides in Scituate, Massachusetts. From a young age he has had an interest in art, engineering, and history. He attended the Massachusetts College of Art where he majored in painting. Near the end of his education he transitioned to photography and developed an interest in old shipyards, airfields, and former industrial sites as subject matter. Photography became a way of helping to tell stories of the past through visual means.
