Apostle Islands (Souvenir Edition): From Land and Sea

by Craig Blacklock (Photographer)

The 22 Apostle Islands lie off Wisconsin's Bayfield Peninsula, on the south shore of Lake Superior. The islands are rich in human history and natural splendor both grand and intimate. Reaching the islands by sea kayak, Craig Blacklock brought his camera through the labyrinths of sea caves, along pristine beaches, deep into flower-filled bogs, and up the spiral staircases of lighthouses. The resulting photographs depict the Apostle Islands similarly to how human vision and memory create and store images. Never before has the beauty of the Apostles been so spectacularly displayed.

A very short book of photography around the Apostle Islands in the state of Wisconsin, picked up at the Chicago Travel Show. Some photos share stunning photography, others the simplicity of objects such as feathers or shipwreck remnants. Overall, a quick, beautiful statement on these beautiful and remote, yet approachable islands. Check out the book, but more so make a trip and stay a while!

Breathtaking photos, but almost zero information beyond the introduction.

Would have enjoyed more explanation and more winter pictures of the caves.
