A November Witch is, as the name suggests, not
something to trifle with. The colorful name refers to the particularly nasty
storms that pummel the Great Lakes around this time of year. They can be
merciless systems; one such storm sank the Edmund
Fitzgerald
freighter 40 years ago.

Dave Sandford captures that power
perfectly in his series Liquid Mountains,
which he shot during four weeks on the shores of Port Stanley, Ontario.
Although he respects the power of these storms, Sandford isn’t afraid of
them. The worse things get, the more compelled he is to be outside.
