Nobody makes traps just the same, Keith Wallace says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/aaf5762b-c242-4aed-a704-1d102bffe8d6/0D001C42-DD20-40AB-9F76-8EDDDFF8D324_1_201_a.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out When he’s not out to traps, Keith’s boat, the Screamin’ Demon can be seen from Hermit Island. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/5bdb3347-7875-429f-8faa-42cb1050ffe7/A78D2C8D-C32A-48B4-A991-61F71F1AE0EC.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out The tools of trap making have evolved with the industry. They’re simple and effective. Here, Keith places a trap side on the teeth of the wire bender. He’s counted down the wire squares to find the appropriate length. A lever at the right of the machine will help bend the wire mesh to a uniform right angle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/90aa921a-6879-4a38-993e-344eb55a8926/6536FDEF-8546-4A38-8345-D4DB57EB417D_1_105_c.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Gesturing towards the back yard where older, yet plentiful traps have been tidied away, Keith says that trap building is mostly necessary winter work – but it can also be a way to pass the time off the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/529c335e-9a21-49b5-893b-b22e28e22dcb/88F545D1-FCAF-4343-AEBD-2B096F0AB777.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out The workshop is a labyrinth of manual tools, hydraulic lines and the systems of seasonal work. I like spaces like these. They remind me of all the bits of the world I can learn about, even hidden just inside somebody’s garage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/44ffa100-44b4-497c-bbd0-7b68a91a32f2/ED0E8966-7B14-4276-8290-9C6B4F917413.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Maybe industrial compositions aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. But I think if you’re not seeing the patterned beauty in even these less visible bits of the lobster industry, you’re just not looking right. It’s there! Framing the story, the picture or the idea right can make everything into a sort of art. I like viewing the world like this. It’s not always possible, of course. But it can be more often than it seems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/7764f54a-d45f-43ad-a947-548135922ae0/35779CBB-2E5C-404F-9294-0DBB9E084680.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Of course, when I told Keith that I didn’t really know why I loved photographing work spaces and people at work in those spaces, he quipped right away that it likely had something to do with the fact that its always better to be the one watching the work, rather than the one working. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/7fc10306-f628-40e7-8fcd-7263addded57/7BFF724D-F0E5-4F4D-82E3-D47D0D77B28F.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Making one trap requires a whole host of rhythmic movements and the skills associated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/6e66fa9f-51e4-4a48-832a-513fd987d17a/A87A04F5-5F4F-4702-9A57-95F2D0F07F0B.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out These new shiny beauties will be catching Gulf of Maine Lobster this coming season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/c8715085-a8ee-4c54-8e2c-97e9e8f9bd2e/89187E12-5DA4-4F4E-82DC-EAC30D0A2B7E.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/a2da4418-f574-47be-bce6-3ab6ecda8b4c/654CD474-806B-42B5-AC18-2B7671FAD30B.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Some spring promise here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/1b54d346-7935-40e3-abf4-d2a42cc790ef/019D35C5-14AF-45CC-8620-1386E198C60C.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out Robin Wallace makes her way over the season’s last snow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/f154a5df-c26b-4d18-b225-3819285b55e5/50E6EC93-B273-41F5-B709-3479B6D50433_1_201_a.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Photo Essay: Late Winter Trap Work - Make it stand out The Wallaces are deep, deep Phippsburg people. Their name marks roads, wharves, houses and legacies. Keith is an eighth generation lobsterman. That means his family has seen ecological changes, technological developments, regulatory shifts and social cycles all from the vantage of this rocky coast. Most places in Phippsburg are like the one pictured here: If you look a little longer and start letting your curiosity get the best of you, you’ll begin to see all the layers of oceanic history piled up here on this little, but dynamic peninsula. https://www.phippsburgmarine.com/the-phippsburg-tidal-blog-1/9bol8939bno98uyx9woe8925gw1sm5 monthly 0.5 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/2ecfba03-6e8a-4cba-b2e8-03ae0cb29c50/4EA68207-56E8-48C4-B23D-53E959019D84_1_201_a.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Tangled Industries: 3 - Make it stand out Gulf of Alaska, 2020.

This means that the net likely won’t scrape bottom, like the one that caught the sturgeon. (The hard drive that has most of the benthic (bottom) trawler photographs got drowned by a cat this summer…) This confusion of webbing, chain, net and net reels is in fact a well-organized system. As much as I decry offshore trawling, I do respect the profound skill it takes to operate a fishing vessel of this–or really, any–kind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/a6746fd6-52a4-4c55-8fed-3028e83e1ab7/BAA59A12-F7BD-43AA-A2B0-4FD1E3C0ABD4_1_201_a.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Tangled Industries: 3 - Make it stand out Keith Wallace’s boat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/46845068-5e4a-4b92-aa44-72800a56e05f/8DEC67C9-4AF1-40EF-9DA3-A0622D12BC3C_1_201_a.jpeg The Phippsburg Tidal: Blog - Tangled Industries: 3 - Make it stand out Cordova, Alaska.

They're the tools that the tests of time have shaped, tools passed down through generations. And now, though our world is certainly changing, the material that we move through and the bodies that we move within haven't shifted all that much – the best tools often remain, simple and effective, as the weird complexities of the systems and the questions around us morph. https://www.phippsburgmarine.com/photo-gallery daily 0.75 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/3f95f780-424d-49a7-8a2d-c920dcf908ac/Clam+Digger+x+Manomet+Collaboration.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/31cb0e7a-8f87-42b8-b63e-8b0c58ab671b/Clam+Digger+x+Manomet+Collaboration+%281%29.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/a842ae97-7de8-449d-beca-c7c1302bef3f/Clam+Digger+x+Manomet+Collaboration.png Photo Gallery https://www.phippsburgmarine.com/december-quahogging daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/ba4342ee-f079-4fc6-a057-8f821534b496/E3FF3B72-0F7C-46B1-9F7A-8937C340712D_1_105_c.jpeg December Quahogging Dark of the morning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690bd66eb492f01d5878c04b/4e490b83-6415-4c8a-88b1-d0e9997d55c5/66F334E3-7665-4C80-8778-4E4F14EDD590_1_201_a.jpeg December Quahogging Single digit air.
