Chautauqua Lake from Long Point 2, August 14, 2020

This is based on an image of the water's surface in Chautauqua Lake taken from Long Point, NY. Many of us, myself included, seek out ways to be near the water, both for recreation and for the meditative calm offered by the ever changing ripples and waves of the water's surface. I'm visiting places where the public accesses the rivers and lakes in our region. Photos of the water's surface taken from these locations form the basis of this series. While each of these public access points is different – different neighborhoods and people, different levels of amenities available, etc. – the always-similar-but-not quite-repeating shapes of the water's surface are a constant and shared experience.
