Fog hovered over the ground at sunrise on the January morning when I made this photograph of the pond at Hodell Acres, the WMCA summer camp on Elmhurst Drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
This small plot of forested land is located in the city, with the neighborhood where I grew up on the north side of it and several industrial facilities to the south.
The pond was originally dug as the beginnings of a stone quarry that was never completed. It sits at the bottom of a deep hole with several trails cut into the steep sides leading down to the water. When I was a kid, neighborhood kids would explore the woods and fish in the pond, which only had tiny bluegill.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
