I departed for Sugarloaf Cove with a group of fellow photographers under pitch black skies, enduring temperatures sixteen degrees below zero. With no indication yet what the dawn light would bring, our hopes were high as we traveled to the cove amidst the bitter cold. We followed the well-worn trail past the Sugarloaf Cove Visitor Center, finally dropping down to the rocky Lake Superior shoreline.

I joined eight other photographers for John Gregor's Winter Wonderland; From Concept to Exhibit workshop beginning on January 31, 2019. Our goal was to photograph, edit, post-process, print, and frame images, all captured during the workshop. For the third consecutive year, Kurt Mead and the entire staff at Tettegouche State Park gave us the opportunity to hang our photographic art in their visitors center.
