WATERWAYS

Both humankind and the animal kingdom depend on water for life, to remain healthy and hydrated, to keep clean and disease-free, to restore and maintain spiritual balance and well-being. It is a constant and common need around the world, although not all peoples and populations own access to a viable water supply. Like scientists before me, in travels near home in CT, and as far away as India, I have purposefully gathered a multitude of photographic water “samples” that vary widely in color, texture, pattern, brightness, clarity, and mood.

For in the wake of a constant onslaught of news featuring the safety of drinking water in U.S. cities, or reporting its scarcity or toxicity in so many parts of the world – faced with lack of resources or in the throes of natural disasters –  what other stories of social and environmental import can these images of water tell? Stand by…this work-in-progress is still flowing forward.
