Artist’s Statement:

Years ago I read the book “The Immense Journey” by naturalist Loren Eisley. In it he wrote “If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water”.  It was also around this time that I began my own forty plus year journey as a photographer and I did not realize how often water would be a key element in my images. In reviewing my archives this past winter, the idea of building a collection based upon the theme of water took hold. Memories of some of my favorite images came back and I dug through boxes of old Kodachrome slides to find some of these pictures. Melding the old and the new resulted in dozens of candidates that I whittled down to this final collection. Looking forward and back, I hope these images inspire people to look for beauty in our natural world and in that most common of everyday things, water.
