2012 thru 2025, Arden, Delaware — Every year, the Arden Community Recreation Association hosts its July 4th Games on the green in the Village of Arden, Delaware, where I live. The gathering ends with people cavorting in spray shot from a fire hydrant. I love how stately the gyrating people look when photographed. They are often silhouettes. The water drops produce a pointillist feel. There is a sense of baptism, of people momentarily washed clean of their cares as they play in the stinging water drops. Here are the best of my images over the last few years. If you would like a photographic print, please contact me.
