King Tide - Washington Tital Basin

Project for the Nature Conservancy showing the impact of King Tides upon the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This image, of a bench along the Tidal Basin in Washington DC, is normally six feet away from the edge of the water. This simple image, show the impact of rising waters along the Potomac River caused from King Tides and climate change.

At 23 I found myself driving in rural Maryland on my way to photograph Great Blue Herons for National Geographic. A flash of yellow on the side of the road caught my eye - a yellow Piper Cub airplane, barely visible behind a red tobacco barn. I hit the brakes in my ancient Volkswagen Squareback, did a quick u-turn, and drove up to the farmhouse to introduce myself to the pilot. Within an hour we were airborne, and I was shooting the Heron Rookery and the Patuxent River from above. I was hooked.
