The Sea Islands of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida: A Photographic PortraitKaren T. Bartlett Photographer and WriterJoin Lowcountry native Karen T. Bartlett on a photographic odyssey through one of the most seductive chains of barrier islands on earth. The journey begins just north of Charleston, South Carolina and follows the coastling south, from romantic Beaufort to sophisticated Hilton Head and Kiawah Islands, along the historic Savannah coast to Georgia's famed Golden Isles and the Marshes of Glynn, and finally to lovely Amelia Island on Florida's northern coast. Daufuskie…Jekyll…Sapelo…Cumberland…St. Simons…the names themselves evoke images of antebellum plantations, palmetto forests and moss-draped oaks. From laid-back beach towns on Folly, Tybee, Edisto and other islands, to the very private enclaves of the rich and famous, to golf meccas and pristine wildlife refuges, Bartlett captures not just lighthouses and forts, shrimp boats and Victorian seaports, but a rich legacy of cultures left behind by European artisocrats, West African slaves and the privileged families of America's Gilded Age. As you explore the Sea Islands through her lens, you can almost feel the salt on your skin, hear the honeyed Southern accents, and catch the fragrance of wisteria on the sultry air.
