The "Wetlands" series was shot on Northwest and Accabonac Creeks, in the kettleholes of Big Reed Pond, and on the beach at Shagwong and Culloden Points in Montauk.

Using a Calumet 8-by-10-inch view camera, the shoots required wading, hiking, and mucking about in unspoiled areas. "It had to be pure - no power lines or houses." The camera, tripod, weighted focusing cloth, and film holders with this type of camera are substantial. This was old-fashioned photography, lugging over 50 pounds of gear through the unstable marsh.
