Eagle Light was vital to ships navigating the tricky Strawberry Channel. Using is here, I wanted to convey something of an ordinary moment in the life of a light keepers family.

We are excited to introduce a new series, " A Week in Door County". Typical of what you've come to expert from Charles Peterson, each of the images will celebrate the daily experience of village and rural life in the Midwest.
  The series will be completed in 2007.
These new prints are utilizing the " Giclee " printing process. The technology allows us to use authentic watercolor paper for  a look so much like an original that it is nearly indistinguishable.
We anticipate delivery of
"Thursday At Eagle Light: Early Snow"
in Aug 2007
