Using Kodachrome film, Dworsky documented daily life, work on the water, and intimate moments at home, capturing a close-knit coastal world that no longer exists. The title refers to a Celtic folktale about a fisherman who falls in love with a selkie—a seal that can take human form—only to ultimately lose her back to the sea, a quiet echo of the book’s themes of memory, loss, and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1775131832183_124\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eJeff Dworsky dropped out of school at 14, bought a Leica at 15, and moved to a small island in Maine at 16. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe became a fisherman.\u003cbr\u003eHe met a girl, got married, and moved to an even smaller island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eHe built a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eHe dug a well.
