Artist Statement
I took this photo right after a blizzard in Chicago. I walked to the lakefront and saw this man standing out on the frozen waves. The contrast between the bright white and this man dressed in all black was beautiful. It is rare to see Lake Michigan look the way it did that day.
I often enjoy capturing a landscape with a single person in the scene which adds a certain depth to the photo. Contrast is a key element of my photography as I seek to capture the world around me in a new and unique way.
