NPS/Alain Briot Isle Royale Reflection"How does one represent nature? This question was very much part of my experience as Isle Royale Artist in Residence. I had just started working with digital photography and was eager to explore the possibilities of this new medium. This residency allowed me to explore the possibilities of the latest medium while living on an island where life had remained simple and primeval. Traditionally, landscape artists have sought new tools to express their vision. I see my work as fitting into this tradition while attempting to push the envelope a little bit further."-Alain Briot, December 2018
