Lisa grew up in Blue Hill, but has been living and working in Portland (Munjoy Hill) since 1985. She creates a lot of things and photographs are one of them.

In the late 90′s Lisa shot some important photographs of the demolition of the Million Dollar Bridge. You can see these at http://www.lisadombek.com/gallery/Photos%20-%20Bridge/8575

Last fall in September, she headed down the hill to the foot of Fore St. at India in Portland and shot strong images of the construction site there – did anyone see the pitiful and delapidated Longfellow Birthplace marker there? It had beer bottles strewn around it and I wouldn’t have known it even existed except for a wonderful photography show at the Portland Harbor Museum last summer documenting places now and…well, obviously a long time ago. The next time I went by to torture myself as to its condition, it had been taken away to make room for the new construction there. Where has it gone, I wonder?

Well, here’s another kinder, gentler view of the same neighborhood also taken by Lisa:

Lisa also paints. Her paintings are now being exhibited at the new Thomas Moser gallery in Los Angeles, among other places, and can be seen locally at 3 Fish Gallery on Cumberland Ave. in April. If you want to check out the old Million Dollar Bridge pics in person – go to Norm’s East End and West End restaurants in Portland.
