Ever since I first vacationed along the Lake Michigan shore as a small boy, I’ve been captivated by the beauty of the Great Lakes. Beaches and dunes, lighthouses and breakwaters, farms and orchards, forests and streams, small towns and big cities—all are essential to the character of this timeless region.
As a self-taught photographer, I’ve been extremely fortunate to be able to turn my passion into my profession. It began when my wife, Joan, a writer, needed illustrations to accompany her freelance articles. Soon we were collaborating as travel journalists. We loved the challenge of communicating a place’s singular beauty and people in photographs and words.
In recent years I’ve been able to travel and photograph extensively in the Great Lakes region. Great Lakes Editions is my way of sharing the beauty I’ve encountered and the desire to preserve it with you. I’m grateful for your patronage and thank you for joining me in the effort to preserve this unique treasure.
