Between Two Lakes
image index / statement
The photographs in Between Two Lakes are taken in the forest separating Lake Wallenpaupak, the largest man-made lake in Pennsylvania, and Lake Lacawac, the southernmost unpolluted glacial lake in North America.
Although they are only 500 acres apart the lakes could not be more different. Lacawac is a respected center for natural habitat research in the region while Wallenpaupak periodically suffers from E. coli pollution as a result of overdevelopment. These lakes illustrate dramatically different examples of society’s relationship with the environment and serve as a metaphor for the fundamental choice facing human civilization today.
