Museum Of Arts & Sciences, Root Family Gallery, 352 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach. Lee Dunkel's interest in environmental and landscape photography began in the early 1980's. Traditional gelatin-silver black and white photography appealed to the artist because of its abstract quality, and its potential to transcend mere documentation. While living and working in rapidly growing central Florida, Dunkel sought out pockets of pristine landscape, such as the Spruce Creek and St. Johns River basins. These areas became the subject of portfolios produced between 1988 and 1996. Spruce Creek is a meandering tidal black water creek in Central Florida, that empties into Rose Bay and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It has areas of wetlands, savannah, and palm forest along its route. The St. Johns River is unique in that it flows from south to norh and connects several lakes between central Florida and Jacksonville, where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean near the Mayport Naval Station. It encompasses estuaries, logging canals, extensive marsh areas, wetland systems, and bird sanctuaries. Dunkel currently lives and works in central Florida and serves as adjunct instructor of Photography at Daytona State College.
