Re: OT: Sleeping Bear lakeshore

[graywolf]

I know it, and used to have a bunch of shots from the area though nothing that 
you would call a serious study. In is an interesting area to visit. One warning, 
don't go down to the beach if you are not in good physical condition the climb 
back up is a bear.

While browsing a local remainder/closeout store (Ollie's)
over the weekend, I came across a fascinating landscape
photo book: _Views from the Sleeping Bear: Photographs of
the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore_, by Thomas
Kachadurian. The ISBN is 1886947376; got it for four bucks
as a remainder.
What a spectacularly scenic (and apparently little-known)
part of the USA! Knocked my socks off...
The photographer used mostly Mamiya medium format with
a 50mm lens, with a few shots on a Wista 4x5 and a Canon
35mm. He uses Velvia and occasionally is a bit heavy-ish
on the polarizer -- which some here would find anathema --
But it serves the subject, and the photographer obviously
loves the place.
Mark Cassino (and other Upper-Midwestern PDMLers), do you
know this place? Have you ever shot there?
Best regards,
Stephen Moore
