Sculpture and jewelry by Ronni Simon, archival photographs — and of course the calendar that was such a labor of love for the late Peter Simon — all can be found at the Simon Gallery these days.
It’s summer on the Vineyard and the afternoon sun casts shadows across Lucy Vincent Beach in Chilmark. Peter Simon is there in his beachfront office, Pentax in hand.
How much does a life’s work weigh? In the case of Peter Simon, seven pounds, two ounces. That’s how much his new book Martha’s Vineyard: To Everything There Is a Season weighs.
Visitors to the Simon Gallery in Vineyard Haven often scan the walls covered with famous singers and activists and make some version of the following remark: “Wow, you’ve got all these pictures with all these interesting people in them, you must have amazing stories.”
