    Submerged Farm

    Webster, SD

    In 1998 there was heavy snow all winter, followed by a very cool and rainy year. All of the ancient depressions left by massive chunks of glaciers filled with water, creating many new lakes. One of these had a dairy farm in it. The house, barn, and other buildings were submerged in water up to 12 feet deep. After two years of asking, the owner gave me permission to walk out on the ice and take photos. I placed my Chamonix 4x5, lenses 90/135/180/300mm, and six holders loaded with Ilford FP4+ on a plastic toboggan and walked a quarter mile out on the lake to take these shots over the next three hours.

    Since learning how to process my own film my photography has improved. I've also been turning to my Chamonix for virtually every weekend outing now.
