​LAKE MICHIGAN: THE WISCONSIN SHORE
​A unique gift for lovers of Lake Michigan!
Finalist: National Indy Excellence Awards. Over 2,000 sold.
​By Lisa Lehmann
​
​Nine Wisconsin photographers share their best images in this beautiful, glossy, hardcover book created by Lisa A. Lehmann. Many are once-in-a-lifetime shots such as white-tailed deer running through the shallow waters of Lake Michigan and pictures taken while crewing on the tall ship Denis Sullivan in the Sheboygan Harbor at sunset. The book showcases over 100 gorgeous photographs along with descriptive captions, poetry and Great Lakes facts.

Photos include sunrises, sailboats, surfers, freighters, fishing boats, wildlife, lots of lighthouses and more breathtaking scenes of the lake and its shore. The book includes images of deer and sand hill cranes at Kohler-Andrae State Park, the Sheboygan lighthouse at dawn, Milwaukee skyline at night, autumn along the Kenosha Sand Dunes, the view from Eagle Tower at Peninsula State Park in Door County, grassy shore along trails at Point Beach State Park, glorious kite-filled skies at the Kite Festival in Two Rivers, the craggy bluffs at Lions Den Nature Preserve, golf at Whistling Straits, and so much more that you will not want to miss!

 - This book has been on our coffee table since we got it. It is a great conversation piece and is adored by every person who picked it up.
​ - The photography by all the artists who submitted their photos for this book is astounding! It is definitely a must-have for anyone with a love for the Lake Michigan shoreline.
 - A beautiful book created by very talented Wisconsin photographers.
  - What a beautiful book! Being a Wisconsin native I am familiar with these places. The photographers caught the beauty of the shoreline. The images are crisp and clear. So glad to add this to our library.

​About the Book
I was inspired to create "Lake Michigan: The Wisconsin Shore" after capturing white-tailed deer running in the shallow waters with my first digital camera, also by the Spectacular Backlit Wave photo from photographer Ron Klunk, and by a photography book by Steve Brimm with stunning winter scenes of Lake Superior.
​
The photographers featured in this book got up before dawn to catch the special morning light. They braved frigid winter conditions to get unique scenes. They dragged heavy tripods and missed dinner in order to capture golden hour light. It shows in the photography.

My hope is that 100 years from now it will provide a snapshot of life along the lake and illustrate Wisconsin and Lake Michigan in the early 21st Century.

As a friend put it, "The book blends the beauty of the lake with respect of nature."

WAITING TO SAIL
By Georgia Ressmeyer
“Take a deep breath with Georgia Ressmeyer’s Waiting to Sail. Listen to the waves crash, the swooping gulls (Floundering), the silence. Notice the empty room, the door (Song for Two Voices), the fragility of being human (Last Walk). What does the Lake Michigan wind bring to the heart? It brings the white pelican, the storm, the calm, destruction and birth. What does the wind take away? The feather, a father, the storm. Share Ressmeyer’s natural language and unforgettable imagery through the seasons by the water. Don’t wait. Sail with her.” —Bruce Dethlefsen, Wisconsin Poet Laureate (2011-2012)
