Recline

The whaling industry kept the lights in on from roughly 1820-1900. Decades of men going out to fight the behemoths to provide for their families and their communities. A short story by Little Alice captures the longing of a newlywedded couple who must face their first year apart. Photos by Bryan Thompson of Graffiti Photographic capture both the joy and wistful gaze of a young wife praying for her husband's safe return. Recline is a collection that brings to life the electric joy that is new love, combined with the heartache of being separated, and the gnawing possibility that love will be forever extinguished.
