About

The Great Lakes are the world's largest freshwater ecosystem, and the Chicago metropolitan coastline is the most populated region along the Great Lakes.

My name is Michael Courier, and my photos capture the beauty of the Chicago lakefront while highlighting humanity’s impact on the local environment.

This website explores Chicago and its lakefront through ecology, history, and human action.
