• Biography
  Craig Blacklock photographs the interface of land and water around Lake Superior, constantly exploring new ways to express our relationship with the natural world. Blacklock has photographed 19 books, been featured in international publications, and had over 30 solo exhibitions including at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and the Museum at the Palm Beach Photographic Center.
