Acclaimed photographer Kosti Ruohomaa is widely known for his photographs of hard scrabble Yankees in mid-century Maine. No one was more acutely aware than Ruohomaa that his work was capturing a way of life that was rapidly fading. Before his work in Maine; however; Ruohomaa started out with Disney; then went on to become a freelance photographer for the Black Star Agency; where he was a regular contributor to Life; National Geographic; Look; and Ladies Home Journal. His true passion; however; was documenting the lives of the people of Maine. In this biography by curator Deanna Bonner-Ganter; of the Maine State Museum; Kostis life and work is made relevant and important to an audience that may be unfamiliar with his work.
