I have worked as a photographer more than half my life. My affinity for the Great Lakes and the sea is evident in my photography where the water and its many changing moods are the dominant theme. Having lived on or near islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes since 1967, I find myself never far from the shore.

As a year-round Mackinac Island resident who must walk, ride horseback, or bike, I make it a point to always have my camera. This relaxed pace allows me to capture those rare, fleeting moments in which the ever-changing light creates spectacular scenes.

Nancy May is a third generation year-round resident of Mackinac Island, Michigan.

Photography has interested her since she received her first Brownie camera at age 7. She has traveled throughout North America and Europe but Northern Michigan continues to be her favorite area to photograph.

"Living on Mackinac year-round affords me the opportunity to record the incredible beauty of the area in all weather and lighting conditions. Through my work I hope to transport the viewer to that time and place from which the photograph was taken. May it be you!"
