Stone People, photograph

Stone People at Old Mission Peninsula, fully submerged in the Great Lake a decade or so ago, are now exposed,

surrounded by flora,

singing to flora

and on almost dry land, viewed from different angles.

How soon will they be submerged again? The water has risen slightly since last year.

Inexhaustible motifs for Great Lake photography with slow rhythms of changing water levels and malleable sand dunes, newly sculpted each winter.

In your work, do you follow any changes, indoors or outdoors?

Lake Michigan, January 19, 2008

Six degrees Fahrenheit at the beach today. Dim light! I manually adjusted the settings based on the histogram of the camera. My fingers were almost frost bitten.
