A Senator's Eye: Celebrating Maine, Washington, and the Joys of Scraping the Windshield

by Angus S. King, Jr.

Sen. Angus S. King Jr. -whether hosting a bipartisan barbecue as a US Senator, traveling the country in his RV, riding the back roads of Maine on his Harley, or waxing poetically about his civil war hero Joshua Chamberlain-prides himself on having an eye and an ear for both the historic and the gloriously familiar. In recent years, he has regularly captured his work and daily adventures on his smartphone and shared those pictures on social media to provide a wonderful and rare insider's look at the workaday life of a senator, whether he is in D.C. or his home state. From the formality of the Capitol Rotunda to a glorious sunrise off the coast of Maine, A Senator's Eye: Celebrating Maine, Washington and the Joys of Scraping the Windshield is a fascinating collection of these informal photos, including King's personal insights and captions.

Senator Angus King highlights the beauty of Maine and the nation's capital in his photos and Instagram comments. He's a good photographer as well as a strong representative of our state.
