Photo Essay

 

People in Milwaukee live next to one of the largest lakes in the world (Lake Michigan), but have never had the chance to go out on to the lake and experience all that it has to offer, such as fishing. It is not that people do not want to have that experience; they simply may not have the means to do so. The experience is much different than fishing offshore or on an inland lake. And beyond having a purpose of being out on the lake, being on a boat in the lake and the scenery is an experience in itself.

This photo essay tells the story of the experience on Lake Michigan from the perspective of a fishing charter. I captured the experience of a six hour fishing charter, which is owned and operated by my brother. The photos tell the story of a fishing charter group going out onto Lake Michigan, the experience of fishing, and the general experience of being out on the open water. Since not many people get the chance to experience Lake Michigan beside its shoreline, this will give people the chance to see the other side of Lake Michigan they have never seen.
