A new discovery has been made in Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary!

Researchers from NOAA, the state of Michigan, and Ocean Exploration Trust have discovered an intact shipwreck resting hundreds of feet below the surface of Lake Huron. The shipwreck has been identified as the sailing ship Ironton. Magnificently preserved by the cold freshwater of the Great Lakes for over a century, the 191-foot Ironton rests upright with its three masts still standing.

Through his "Shipwreck Alley" class, high school teacher John Caplis has been connecting Alpena High School students directly to the nearby Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Additionally, the sanctuary has worked to support existing businesses while helping to create new opportunities for tourism. The Thunder Bay Maritime Festival that now draws more than 10,000 visitors a year to the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center and the Maritime Heritage Trail. Partnerships with the public library preserve a century’s worth of important maritime history documents. Working with the local theater, the sanctuary brings the Thunder Bay International Film Festival to Alpena, Michigan, each year. The sanctuary’s partnership with Alpena Community College has produced a successful marine technology program, while a decades-long partnership with the Marine Advanced Technology Education Center hosts ROV competitions for regional high school students.

12 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS! A 2022 PHOTOGRAPHER RECAP.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. What a time 2022 has been. Had I blinked more often I feel I would have missed it. The past year has been a blur. When I slow down and review it, I realize just how productive it has been. Not just on a professional level, but personally as well.

---> Want to jump to the photography? Scroll down for the visual recap.

Creatively, photography provided an opportunity to explore and create work that challenged me, resulting in imagery I’m happy to put my name on. Pictures that resonate; that showcase the beauty and mystery of nature. Artful imagery which, I hope, speak to people who live in the expansive land of Northern Ontario, and to those that don’t. Because beauty of land, water and skies is universal. 

Celebrating and documenting the immediate world around me creates a sense of belonging and community. As the world changes I can look back and take in the world I’ve known and share how I’ve seen and photographed it. I’m currently producing some of my recent work as large scale fine-art prints. This is where my work comes to life; where the high resolution images present every detail.

DEAN OROS PHOTO HIGHLIGHTS.

Favourite photography projects, as chosen by you. I was going to recap the top three from the past year. Turns out I couldn’t keep it to three. So I’ll present four. Grab a freshly poured latte´ or steeped tea, perhaps turn on some background music, and settle in for some art:

View A STORY OF WATER.

Moving water has beauty and mystery in nature. It has a life all its own while it intersects with life around it. I wanted to explore flowing water but remove it from nature to present it as its own entity. Showcase its virtues and iniquities. Remind us that water ought to be treated with respect as one of life's most precious resources. While water may be a basis for life, it also is dangerous, capable of destruction and yes, the passing of life. This is A STORY OF WATER.

View CONNECTEDNESS.

The series entitled CONNECTEDNESS presents, with winter’s bare birch tree, the beautiful possibility that closeness brings. That there is mystery and certainty. The shallow roots and long branches of the White Birch intertwine. This intertwining, this connectedness, led to thinking about partnering and trust. How there is always another side to a story. How there is back-story to everything. When two or more parties come together, their storied histories arrive and also intertwine.

View THE SLEEPING GIANT and story of THE OJIBWE´ LEGEND. 

AN ICONIC LANDMARK. Nestled on the shores of northwestern Ontario’s Lake Superior, the SLEEPING GIANT is a series of mesas formed by the erosion of thick, basaltic sills on Sibley Peninsula, which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

View DAY OF WHIMSY.

What started as a panoramic photograph took to life as a DAY OF WHIMSY. During a late afternoon last year when summer changes to autumn, a rainbow presented itself over the waterfront. Just for a few beautiful minutes. It was long enough for me to hastily capture it. Sometimes timing is everything.

WHAT’S NEXT?

I’m looking forward to 2023 and the opportunities it will bring. Along with landscape and nature, I’d like to continue photographing portraiture and possibly wedding celebrations, as it has been a while since I’ve done so. I’ve photographed over 125 multi-cultural weddings. My portraiture focuses on children, the bond of family and people from all facets of life. 

View PEOPLE + CONNECTION.

View LAND + WATER.

THANK YOU.

As we wrap up 2022, I’d like to thank you for joining me on my photography journey. I’ve pushed myself creatively and technically this past year. 2023 will bring new adventures and new photography. Life is short; live it up.

See you soon. Thank you for visiting.
