Frederick J. LeBlanc has worked as a professional photojournalist for over thirty years. His commercial and editorial images have appeared regularly in regional and national publications. His life long passion for classic wooden sailing vessels has led him, over the last decade, to document these historic windjammers as they sail , in harmony with the wind and sea. Through his collections of photographic artwork he hopes to recall a vanishing era when the waves were broken only by the power of the wind, to capture the majestic beauty of these historic tall ships and to offer a visual escape that evokes a longing for the sea.A lifelong New Englander he lives in South Hadley, Massachusetts.
