Caddisfly Shelters - Limited Edition of 30 Photograph

This photograph is from a project on the ecology of cold mountain streams in California. Like this image, many of the photographs were taken in shallow running water. I could not see what I was photographing but used the camera at arm's length to record whatever I could. Such 'random' methods recall the work of artists like John Cage and William Anastasi. It also echos the science methods I used in the field for scientific sampling. Is there a convergence of science and art? In any case, the photo shows the architecture of stream insects that glue grains of sand together to make shelters in the running water. Imagine millions of these insects in a stretch of stream, choosing grains of sand and pasting them in place generation after generation. Quite a collection! Prints are limited to an edition of 30. I print them myself on Moab Exhibition Luster 300gsm acid free paper on an Epson P800 pigment printer for the highest archival durability in digital imaging. Your print will be signed and numbered on the back, and ships in a tube. Images are printed without borders. For additional sizes and pricing, please contact me.
