Water Everywhere

As I sit here writing, Vancouver is being deluged with a major downpour, from a satelite photograph, it looked as though we were in the eye of a hurricane. It is lovely, lush and green, and from where I sit it is difficult to comprehend a life without the luxury of clean water from the tap, and hard to believe in this day and age in a world where continents are surrounded by water, and it seems to be everywhere, that there are so many people that don't live with this. But the reality of many around the world in regards to access to safe water is not much different now than when I began this H20 journey a last year. From the beginning, knowing what I was going to experience through documenting photographically these many lives, and then discovering the reality was an awakening itself. Now I will have the opportunity to expand on it even more, through "Waves of Change" the exhibit that is the culmination of last years work with Melanie, and our upcoming visit to Haiti. While continuing to revisit the imagery in editing and printing, I had an almost strange vantage point of continually living in my Zambia and India worlds. Both places had a way ofpulling me in and allowing me to connect with them, now I will look forward to the next chapter. Ohh, how I love a storm.
