Grand Portage National Monument will host an event this Saturday, September 9th titled 'Light Waves - Abstract Photographs of Reflections from Lake Superior' featuring photographer Craig Blacklock. 

According to the Grand Portage National Monument, "
Craig Blacklock's most recent body of work, Light Waves, is a series of images isolating the complex mirror of Lake Superior’s surface, producing a purely abstract representation of the palette and textures lying outside of the frame. In the same ways the barely recognizable melodic fragments of a jazz interpretation reference the original song, these images derive their structure from and pay homage to the landscape and the freshwater it is reflected in."
