As a tourist haven and one of New England's most picturesque areas, Cape Cod has always promoted its picture- postcard images of cozy cottages, butterfly-filled flower gardens and iconic seaside scenery. Gregory Williams, on the other hand, has always been fond of depicting some of Cape Cod's less hallowed images.
