Waterviews
Waterviews is a collection of photographs, thoughts, and experiences acquired while kayaking the Carman’s and Connetquot Rivers, and the Setauket and Orient Harbors of Long Island, New York. It contains over 75 scenic and wildlife photographs, most snapped from the unique vantage point of a kayak floating on top of the water.
Topics written about include the science of waterway formation, locations and tours of the waters, Long Island history, photography, and information about kayak basics, techniques, and safety. Waterviews also explores subjects that surface when out on a paddle such as, happiness, relaxation, sickness, loss, and friendship.
