Grants provide the freedom to explore one's ideas
and realize dreams that might not otherwise be obtainable.
– Jan Bell
Originally administered by the Friends of Lake Superior Provincial Park (Canada), the stewardship of this grant has transitioned to me. Under my direction, the support has been offered as funding to facilitate an individual’s participation in my workshop, rather than as a conventional grant.
The establishment of this grant has been an ongoing goal since my cancer diagnosis in 2017. I see it as a way to support fellow photographers, much as a $5,000 Michael Reichman Grant supported me. While my grant is a more modest offering, it reflects my desire to provide an opportunity for photographers to experience the same inspiring landscape that helped shape my own work. Several photographs taken at Lake Superior Provincial Park formed the core of my submission to the Reichman grant, and it seems only fitting that this grant allows its recipient the chance to photograph in that same extraordinary location.
Lake Superior Provincial Park spans 77 miles along the Lake Superior shoreline, covering nearly 400,000 acres (660 square miles). The park’s terrain is a mix of gently rolling rock and steep, jagged cliffs. Rivers charge toward the lake, tumbling over rocks in cascading rapids. The land bears the marks of ancient volcanic forces, with distinctive patterns left by molten lava. These natural formations add a dramatic flair to the landscape, flowing into the clear waters of Lake Superior.
The recipient will receive a copy of my hardcover book, Quiet Contemplation. It’s a personal reflection of the North American landscapes that have inspired my work and shaped my vision.
To learn more about this grant, feel free to contact me directly. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details.
