Five years in the making, Big Water is a photographic ode to an often overlooked part of the world. Surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, Virginia’s Eastern Shore is a
landscape that has been both changed and unchanged since Captain John Smith visited the area on his first explorations of North America.
David writes in his introductory essay, “Growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Eastern Shore would show up like a mirage on the north horizon line across the Chesapeake Bay. Some days it was visible, others it was gone. A world away from the Navy bases and industrial shipyards of Virginia Beach and greater Hampton Roads, the distance seemed much greater
than the 17 miles of water that separate the two areas.”
This is David’s first monograph. He works primarily in medium format film and produces beautiful platinum palladium prints of his images in his Virginia studio.
