Photo Slideshow: Great Lakes Beauty, Ed Wargin’s Fresh Coast Project

The Fresh Coast Project, an ambitious 10-year, around-the-lakes journey that captures the Great Lakes on film, was created by photographer Ed Wargin to visualize the lakes and streams as one stunning, connected, living story.

The project brings visual context to the Great Lakes’ darkest challenges and their brightest futures. Through imagery, stories, and media, Wargin shares the visual poetry of the Great Lakes, from serene backwaters to the crescendos of waves on their grandest bays. Wargin says his goal is to show the global community that the Great Lakes, as one ecosystem, is a rare wonder of the world.
