Photographs from a town on stilts at the edge of the Inside Passage — the fishing fleet, Creek Street, the totem poles, and the light that shows up between the rain.

Ketchikan clings to the western shore of Revillagigedo Island in the Tongass — the largest temperate rainforest left in the country. The coast range walls it off from the mainland, so everything comes and goes across the Tongass Narrows: the fishing fleet, the ferries, the float planes lifting off at low tide.
It runs on fish and, more recently, on the cruise ships that fill Front Street from May through September. Between the two, it stays what it has always been — a working waterfront in the rain, with the world's largest standing collection of totem poles a short drive out of downtown.
