“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is today”.
I grew up in Minnesota, the USA living on a lake and now I live in the Chicago, USA area next to Lake Michigan. I love to be around water. I have been a photographer most of my life but lost touch with the art form over the years. I returned to it about 10 years ago, and have found tremendous creative satisfaction creating photographic art.
I am inspired to photograph Lake Michigan in every way I can — from sweeping seascapes to macro shots of its shoreline. I hope to capture as many of the lake’s moods and as much of its personality as I can. I want each image to convey the quality of the lake which resonates with a viewer, helping the viewer appreciate the lake as a magnificent natural wonder.
As one image or another resonates with different viewers, I want the entire body of work to create a mosaic which shows how beautiful the lake is, how important it is to our community, how precious a resource it is, and how essential it is we cherish and protect it at all costs.
