Todd Reed: Ludington point to point

Ludington: Point to Point is a 158-page coffee table book featuring photos from the "Point to Point" region of Michigan, covering the 35 miles between Big and Little Sable Points in Mason and Oceana Counties. Ludington: Point to Point is a visual story, set in a land lying between two historic lighthouses: one named "Big" and the other named "Little." The lighthouses sit as sentinels at points of land north and south, separated by 35 miles of meandering shoreline along the edge of a Great Lake - Lake Michigan. The setting of our story is beautiful. Ancient sand dunes and gentle, glacial moraine are bathed in incomparable light and atmosphere. It is a place where a magical mix of land, air, and water creates fleeting, ever-changing visual relationships between light and object. This beloved Land is the home of an artist, Todd Reed, who has lived here all his life. He has labored on the land and the sea as a journalist, photographer, and mariner for more than twenty-five years. He has wandered this place with purpose - from one distinct point to another - seeing it, feeling it, learning from it as he goes. His camera is his eye. His photographs are the fruit of his seeing. This artist's offering is Ludington: Point to Point - A book about reverence and light, the value of beauty, the intimacy between land and water, and the meaning of home.
