Susan Lapides chronicles her family's summers in a tiny New Brunswick fishing town

TIDAL WAVE

PHOTOGRAPHER SUSAN LAPIDES, in her four-decade career, has shot subjects as varied as Khmer Rouge survivors, Connecticut tobacco field workers and ox drovers for publications like Time, Forbes and the New York Times. She's also photographed political icons on the cusp of fame, like George H.W. Bush when he won the New Hampshire primary in 1988 and a young Barack Obama when he made history as the first Black editor of the Harvard Law Review.

In 1998, Lapides and her husband, Peter Wilson, were looking for a summer rental away from their Boston home. A newspaper ad led them to a wooded property in St. George, a small town in New Brunswick near the American border. The lot was close to the Bay of Fundy, whose 16-metre tides are some of the highest in the world, and the property had apple trees and an open area ready for a new build. They fell in love with the place and surrounding community and bought it. "St. George is not a typical summer destination," says Lapides. "One guy runs tennis lessons, but that's about it for activities."
