James Clayton Sattel's RI Summer: Newport's Historic Neighborhoods

Photographer James Clayton Sattel is passionate about Rhode Island, particularly those shores, crags, and vistas of his home island: Aquidneck. GoLocalProv is delighted to be collaborating with Jim this summer on curated sets of his images that capture coastal life so vividly.

This week, Jim peers down streets and byways of some of Newport's most historic neighborhoods. "Given that Newport has scores of historic and contemporary sites to visit," Jim said, "my selection process was based on multiple factors—proximity to the hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast accommodations; nearby sites within driving and walking distance, as well as night clubs, restaurants, shopping, and live music."

"One needs to think through composition," he said. "Do you want photograps that emit the peace of early morning or the buzz of the day and evening? I chose the former. Also, I enjoyed the repetition of texture and color—concrete blocks, striking colonial colors, salt box architecture... at the outset, what looked distinctly different became a study of the structure's unique details."
