Fran Zak, a long time resident of Port Jefferson, New York,
and former faculty member at Stony Brook University, has
been walking the beaches in the area for many years. The
seashore figures prominently not only in her photography,
but in her oil paintings as well. She has a fine appreciation
of the sand, the sea, and the sky.
In recent years, she has been spending summers in the
Village of Deia, on the island of Mallorca, in Spain,
where she is working on another collection of photographs.

Port Jefferson resident Fran Zak has put together a...book that would be welcome in any home, and
especially so along the north shore of Long Island, where Zak puts her camera
to work. This [is a] collection of photographs of neighboring beaches, ponds, and the
Sound in early morning light or at sunset, in all seasons of the year...We are there again savoring the fading
light at dusk at West Meadow Beach; observing the white cranes on Flax Pond,
its grassy marshland home to sea and land animals at rest; taking delight in
children daring the tide to cover a sandbar on which they play; observing
fishermen in Frank Melville Park, hip-high in search of carp.
The book offers far more than photographs of beautiful waterviews.
Brief text provides welcome information about the water but also about marine
and land animals that also caught her eye. Snapshots of wild iguanas, allow us
to observe these fascinating, elusive creatures at close range. The
accompanying text provides the reader with surprising information...

"WATERVIEWS is not about geography or history; it is about color, form, and art,
