I have been spending time taking self-portrait photographs, submerged in Lake Champlain along the shores of Shelburne Farms. The Lake is the lifeblood of my community, and the Farm serves as a lens, helping us glimpse the effects of 12000 years of human dependence on its waters and surrounding land.

The Lake is alive and it’s a great story!
You are a genius on land and in the water.
