Join us at Prince Books on Tuesday, December 6th at 12:30pm for a book signing with photographer Cameron Davidson!
 
Cameron Davidson has been shooting aerial photography of the Chesapeake Bay over a period of twenty years. The view from this privileged vantage point reveals man's impact on the land and the water. It yields an abstract beauty that is seldom seen, from the seven bends of the Shenandoah River to the important marshlands and islands of the watershed. Davidson's lens captures the changing seasons traced from the headwaters of the Susquehanna at Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, New York, to the mouth of the bay at Virginia Beach. Davidson's poetic pictures bear witness to the bay's vulnerability and the fragility of its future.

Davidson's stunning full-color photography is arranged geographically and accompanied by the words of David Fahrenthold, who has written extensively about the Chesapeake Bay and other environmental topics for the Washington Post.

Cameron Davidson is an aerial and location portrait photographer based in Virginia. He shoots on assignment for a variety of print publications, including Vanity Fair, National Geographic, and Smithsonian and his work has been profiled in Communication Arts, Photo/Design, and Print magazines. His work has received awards in the Communication Arts Photo Annual, Graphis Photo, Print Design Annual,and the Pictures of the Year competition. He has published five books of photography, including, most recently, Washington D.C. from Above.
