Standing and staring out over lakes rich with symbol and danger, one must make the decision to either move forward into those charged depths or stay on the shore with dry feet, watching the exhilarating drama unfold from a distance.

Using regional lakes as a metaphor for what is unknown, these photographs depict the mental landscape of choice, the breathless grip of the place between knowing a decision must be made and taking the step forward into the consequences of that decision. The series uses word play and various photographic techniques to poke gently at the increasingly fragile link between photography and reality.
