While I have never completely understood my fascination with water, I do find myself constantly drawn to photographing it. Water is the source - it is basic and it is essential. While it can be soft and soothing, it can also be dynamic and powerful. In creeks and streams, depending on not only the obstacles in its path, but also its volume, the flow can take on the kind of random forms I've been seeking in nature.

Tohickon Creek, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, runs from Lake Nockamixon to the Delaware River. It is easily accessible for photography near the Stover-Myers Mill, at Ralph Stover and High Rocks State Parks, and at Tohickon Valley County Park. This creek is an ideal vehicle for my fascination with both water and the randomness of nature.
