Linda Benedict-Jones, the Curator of the Polaroid Collection said I know of no other photographer who has celebrated one of our Great Lakes in such a thoroughly compelling fashion. Part of the collection resulted from a 1200 mile, 100 day kayak trip around Lake Superior that Blacklock made in 1991. Accessible only by boat, many of these are places most of us will visit only through his work. The mastery of the photographer captures the magic of the lake as no one else has done.
