Galleries > Water Colors

In August, 2013, I began shooting sequences of photos of Minnesota’s Mille Lacs Lake under a variety of weather conditions and at different times of day. They were all taken from a single vantage point with the lake’s horizon line at the top edge of the frame and the shoreline just below the bottom edge of the frame. The prints in this gallery began as black-and-white images; the colors come from the inks used during printmaking.
