Harry Ivan Day, Jr. passed on in Florida on Sunday, Feb. 18, 2001.
He was born Nov. 17, 1912 in Haverhill, Mass. to Harry Ivan Day, Sr. and Miriam Lewis Shute Day. He was a descendant of Joseph Lewis, one of Boothbay's first settlers.
A renowned photographer and artist, Mr. Day owned the Harry Day Gallery on Union Street in Boothbay Harbor for 45 years. He started coming to East Boothbay, where he set up a studio, in 1949 as a summer resident and moved to Boothbay Harbor full-time in 1991.
He had lived for many years in New York City, Forest Hills, N.Y., Westport, Conn., Essex, Conn., and Jackson, N.H., where he had a year-round art gallery from 1969 to 1991.
He recently retired to Bradenton, Florida where he had been a winter resident.
Mr. Day was most recently recognized as a contemporary painter but previously had been a well known photographer.
He started drawing at the age of six when a draftsman friend gave him paper, pencil and pastels and told him to start drawing. Soon after he began applying his love of color and space to landscapes and seascapes in all types of media. He learned photography from his father, an engineer at MIT who had invented a camera.
After attending Staunton Military Academy and Chauncy Hall, Mr. Day left his beginning engineering career for Massachusetts School of Art. Upon moving to New York City during the Depression, he returned to photography and entered the New York Institute of Photography.
His photography career blossomed at Van Cleef and Arpels Jewelry where he became the sole photographer for eight years. Mr. Arpel constructed a studio/laboratory at the showroom for him so he could paint as well as do all of their photography which appeared in national magazines.
Day photographed many celebrities, including Lilli Pons, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. William Paley, Marlene Dietrich, and Mr. Guggenheim.
Following his deep devotion to artistic expression Day spent four years at the National Academy of Design where he received the Halgarten prizes for portraiture, still life and figure painting. He also studied at the Art Student League.
In the 1950s Day was contracted by David Dean Laboratories to convert LIFE magazine's photographs of the world's 50 greatest masterpieces to life-sized transparencies, as well as the entire Sistine Chapel ceiling, Michaelangelo's masterpiece, done in one-quarter scale. This world display, called "Illumination from Life," was featured at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
At that time, some of Day's murals, called "Colorama," could be seen in New York's Grand Central Station, Saks Fifth Avenue and other places. The Eastman Kodak Company invited him to lecture on a unique process he had invented.
He was the first American photographer to have photographs accepted in an exhibit of England's Royal Photographic Society, of which he became a Fellow and received the F.R.P.S. designation. Some of his work remains part of the Royal Photographic Society's permanent collection.
The Christian Science Monitor commissioned Day to do a series of pictures featuring "Children of the World" as covers for its magazine section. He was considered one of the top ten exhibitors of photography in the world.
Mr. Day courted his wife Jannis, literally, on the Forest Hills tennis courts where they were both at the top of their games as amateur members. They were married in 1940.
Day's one-man art shows were many, including eight at the Deeley Gallery of Manchester Village, Vermont; the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland; Fairleigh Dickinson College in New Jersey; the National Academy of Design, New York; Grand Central Gallery, New York; Maine Art Historical Society; Wendy Glass Gallery, New York; Silvermine Guild, Connecticut; Little Gallery in Philadelphia; and Bloomfield College, New Jersey.
His work has been displayed at many art museums including the Boston Museum and the Dallas Museum.
He enjoyed hiking and skiing adventures in the White Mountains, and many of his paintings came from these trips.
Upon his retirement to Florida, he closed his Boothbay Harbor gallery and consigned many paintings to the Boothbay Harbor Framers Gallery.
He leaves a daughter, Janna Parker Day of Bradenton, Florida and East Boothbay; a granddaughter, Tiffany Reeves of Bradenton, Florida and Maine; a step-grandson, George Henry Reeves, and step-grand-daughter, Melissa Reeves of Auburn, Maine; a brother, Pat "Yann" Day of Haverhill, N.H.; and several nieces and a nephew.
He was predeceased by his wife, Jannis Parker Day, in 1993, a sister, Martha Day Lippert, and a nephew.
There will be a celebration of his life sometime during the summer.

Box 183, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538; to Habitat for Humanity of the Bath-Brunswick Area, 320 Church Road, Brunswick, ME 04011; or to the Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary, 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway, Sarasota, FL 34236.
