The Artwork

Looking down five flights of spiral stairs inside a lighthouse, photographed from above to show depth, repetition, and structure. — A dramatic view looking down five flights of a lighthouse’s spiral staircase, captured by Mike Dooley to emphasize scale, depth, and architectural rhythm.

This is where all of it lives — every print I’ve got, sorted by what it is and where I shot it. Most of it’s Rhode Island, since that’s still home base, but you’ll find some Massachusetts, Maine, and Florida mixed in as I get out to more places.

The Seascapes

Rhode Island’s coastline is where I’ve spent the most mornings — Narragansett, Newport, Warwick, Block Island, all of it. The seascapes below are sorted by location, so if you know the spot you’re after, jump straight there.

A handful are from Massachusetts, Maine, and Florida too, wherever the light’s taken me lately.

Curated Collections

Everything else that didn’t fit neatly into seascape or landscape — cars, night shots, still life, whatever caught my eye.

The Journey Behind the Lens

Every photo on this page started as five minutes of standing somewhere with a camera, hoping the light held. Curious how I got from there to here?
