Much of Earth’s human population, and much of its wildlife, depend on groundwater and springs for fresh water supplies. However, climate change, and particularly reduced and more quickly evaporating snow, limit infiltration and aquifer recharge. This is particularly true for springs that emerge from shallow basalt aquifers, such as those around us here in northern Arizona.
Nankoweap One Mile Seep (Photograph, 2008): Every culture but the dominant Caucasian culture of America regards springs as sacred expressions of mystery and as sites occupied by divine spirits. By appreciating and honoring such values, we enrich our connection to the Earth and a sustainable future. Price unframed: $250, framed $500.
Buck Spring (Photograph, 2012): Much of Earth’s human population, and much of its wildlife, depend on groundwater and springs for fresh water supplies. However, climate change, and particularly reduced and more quickly evaporating snow, limit infiltration and aquifer recharge. This is particularly true for springs that emerge from shallow basalt aquifers, such as those around us here in northern Arizona. Price unframed: $250, framed $500.
Stone Creek Spring (Photograph, 2018): Water as it emerges from the Earth is miraculous and diverse in its path of beauty and mission of following gravity. Algae growing on the stone surface provide a rich pallet of colors and also serves as a catalyst for deposition of travertine. While “water is life”, this spring both affects and is shaped by the life within it. Price unframed: $150, framed $300.
