North Beach View

Steve Berentson, a photographer and proud fourth-generation native of Skagit County, passionately shares his love for Anacortes and its breathtaking landscapes. After a long absence, he returned to the community in 1980 and has since celebrated its natural beauty, including rugged beaches, pristine lakes, and expansive forests. His photography captures the essence of Fidalgo Island, inviting viewers to appreciate its stunning vistas and vibrant community. Berentson's work not only showcases the region's landscapes but also highlights the rich tapestry of local life, featuring both natives and immigrants. He offers prints of his photography for sale, making it possible for others to bring a piece of Anacortes into their homes.

This accessibility enhances his connection with the community and allows others to experience the beauty he cherishes. Each photograph tells a story, celebrating both the environment and the people who inhabit it. Through his lens, Berentson invites admiration for the unique charm of Anacortes and the surrounding Skagit Valley.
