"Chris Winters: Faces of the Lakes"

"Chris Winters: Faces of the Lakes" is an exhibit running June 2 to 27 at Alberta House Arts Center in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Chris Winters' first exhibit at Alberta House was in March 2013, when the emphasis was on "Centennial," his book documenting the work and world of what was at that time the oldest working steamer on the Great Lakes. In "Faces of the Lakes," Chris focuses on the people who make their living on or beside the Great Lakes. He interviewed and photographed captains and cartographers, shipbuilders and deckhands in, as he put it, "seven states and three provinces." He has sailed on the last of the steam-powered freighters and the first 1,000-foot freighter. Chris is based in Milwaukee where he is the staff photographer at the Discovery World Museum and official photographer of Wisconsin's flagship, the three-masted Great Lakes schooner Denis Sullivan. The Alberta House is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 906-635-1312. www.saultarts.org.
