The Great Lake

Last year, I was asked by Dwayne McClain, former NBA player and current basketball coach of the men's team at Oxbridge, to document the building and renovation of Oxbridge's famous "Great Lake". It's funny, since the lake used to actually be hilariously small and really nasty. The lake has always been there; that size, that location, that filthiness. When Oxbridge moved in to this location last year, they decided that they didn't want to get rid of it, they just wanted to renovate it. They expanded the lake twice its size, and cleaned it out. 

Dwayne explained to me his frustration with the fact that nobody was documenting this apparent "leap in Oxbridge history", and he saw me one day snapping pictures for photography class outside, and asked if I wouldn't mind doing a little side project for him. I agreed, and we planned that I would take several pictures every week documenting the changes in the lake. When I look back at all of the pictures, I finally understood Dwayne's eagerness in having this event noted. The lake changed significantly, it just simply isn't the same lake anymore, for better or for worse.
