Beautifully captured images of the unique and imperiled landscape of Lake Erie For over a decade, large-format photographer Lynn Whitney has captured Lake Erie's Ohio shores. The beautifully rendered images contained in Lake Erie reveal a sense of diverse communities, changing landscapes, and deep histories of a place. Inspired by Frank Gohlke's work on Lake Erie, Whitney's distinct eye acts as a guide through this unique and imperiled landscape; her images ask what the chances are for our collective future and offer hope in the effort of noticing. Included are Nicholas Nixon's personal account of Whitney's practice, a cultural exploration by curator Robin Reisenfeld, and an essay by biologist George Bullerjahn, which chronicles the environmental and geological characteristics of the lake. As a collection, these photographs and texts are reminders of the past we share; of what we have done and continue to do to the lake and to each other.
