Boathouses

Having spent over 35 years visiting Lake Vermilion in Northern Minnesota I found few subjects as intriguing as the old traditional boathouses. Many of them are gone, but especially in Stuntz Bay near the Soudan Iron Mine they still stand shoulder to shoulder around that large bay.

It felt appropriate to document these interesting historical buildings with similarly old technology using wooden pinhole cameras and plastic cameras from the 1950’s, printing in a wet darkroom, and toning and hand coloring most of the prints.
