Beginning in September of 2015 artist Lincoln Schatz began taking lake pictures. Schatz, at first, only intended to photograph the lake for a month. From the start choosing to photograph each day either early in the morning or later in evening. But then a month passed, and yet these daily trips to photograph along the lake’s edge did not stop.
Instead, these first lake pictures are now the foundations for the Lake Series, an ongoing serial investigation of Lake Michigan that Schatz continues to work on to this day. These lake photos explore the daily changes that occur on and around Lake Michigan since that first September day. Since then, Schatz has spent the last five years carefully studying this landscape. With his back to the city of Chicago, he stands on the lake’s shore. Focusing his camera on the lake waters that stretch before him to the sky.
