From the Water

Backcountry Stills


From the Water brings together birds, boats, weathered shorelines, and fleeting moments encountered along Florida’s Nature Coast. Made from the water and along the shoreline, these photographs move between wildlife and human presence, stillness and motion, the ordinary and the easily missed. Together they offer a view of the waters around Crystal River, shaped less by destination than by attention to what appears along the way.
