2026_01_11: Lake Series with Lincoln Schatz

Beginning in September of 2015 artist Lincoln Schatz began taking lake pictures. Dedicating a month to photographing the lake each day in morning or evening. These daily trips to photograph the lake continued past that first month.

One month became two, two became three, and the project has continued ever since. Those first lake photos are now the foundations of the Lake Series, a serial exploration of the landscape of Lake Michigan through photography.

Since 2015, Schatz has carefully studied this landscape. With his back to the city of Chicago, he stands on the lake’s shore and photographs Lake Michigan with a medium-format camera, capturing the waters as they stretch toward the horizon.
