New Book by Fernando

The images in this book were selected from a large body of photographs made between 2006 and 2012 in the section of Taughannock creek that lies immediately before the famous waterfall by the same name (this creek flows near the village of Trumansburg in the state of New York). 
The book opens with a micro essay and a poem, and closes with another poem and a brief essay. These texts present the stream as the flow of life as a whole. They also strongly suggest that without the enhanced perception and caring attention needed to see things as they really are, the chaotic state of human affairs will remain largely unseen and largely unattended.

I n order to find a  solution that is holistic  and doesn't just fit the crisis of the day,  we ha...
