A Year of the Susquehanna River
Current
Projects
This project is partially funded by the Puffin Foundation, Ltd. We visually document a portion of the Susquehanna River over the course of a year. River sections include the confluence of the West Branch and the main stem at Sunbury down to the south where the river confluences with the Chesapeake Bay. From this project, there are two portfolios of photography - one in the documentary vein and one that is fine art. A short will be available for viewing in the future.

Water in the Life and Location of the Susquehannocks
We examine the potential journey of John Smith inland to the Susquehannock tribal area from the focus of water and how the Susquehannocks used it to select their village locations both for security and survival, as well as an exploration of how human waste was addressed. This journey will extend into southern Pennsylvania since several sites in York and Lancaster counties were the larger known villages and because there is a debate about exactly how far north John Smith ventured.
The Union Canal
We take a look at the history of the building of the Union Canal and what it meant to the land, the Susquehanna River, and the people living in the area.
