The Thawing of the Great Lakes
From ice fishing scenes to mid-air polar bear plunges, Amy Sacka's photos could convince even the most Vitamin-D deprived Michigander of the joy of winter. But some of her most recent work examines what we stand to lose as climate change begins to reshape what Michigan winters. On today’s episode, we hear from the Detroit-based photographer about documenting the thawing of the Great Lakes. GUEST: Amy Sacka, Detroit-based documentary photographer Amy Sacka’s ice fishing photography exhibit titledLast Ice will be on display at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Detroit’s Belle Isle through April 24. You can find some of her photos from her National Geographic feature here. Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.
