Whitefish Point Light Canvas Print

Whitefish Point Lighthouse MI.
Whitefish Point marks the eastern end of a notorious 80-mile stretch of shoreline from here west to Munising, Michigan, known ominously as Lake Superior�s Shipwreck Coast. Of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least 200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point. The primary causes of shipwreck here are stress of weather and collision; the 1975 loss of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald with her entire crew of 29 has become a world-wide legend. The wreck of the Fitzgerald lies just 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point.

I've been involved in photography since 1968. I started in high school and went on the work as a photographer in several fields, First as a real estate photographer, then in the US Air Force, Next as a crime lab photographer. I moved on portraits for a time. I stayed involved in photography on a limited basis but started working in IT for 25 years. I found that digital photography was natural move with experience in both photography and computers. Now that I am retired, I do more landscape and nature work.
