Regarding Flowing Waters is the third book of water images I have published under the imprint of the Mallerstang Magic Press, after The Still Dynamic in 2021 and Panta Rhei – Everything Flows in 2022.   As well as some images from Mallerstang, there are also images taken in rivers of the Italian Dolomites and in a number of bisses in the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. The bosses are small, man made channels built to bring water from reliable springs and glaciers to where it was needed for water supply and irrigation.   The bisses are quite variable in size, slope and construction but all represent an enormous effort by both the men and women of the communes involved to both create and maintain them over long periods of time. Some were suspended on the sides of cliffs, others involved tunnelling through rock faces. Some, such as the Bisse de Sion, are still in active use.  They offer many opportunities for intimate landscapes of the water within them.

Regarding Flowing Waters has an introductory text by the author and is arranged in a number of sections: Regarding Caustics; Regarding Flows around Rocks; Regarding Surface Reflections; Regarding Chaotic Flows; Regarding Flows as Abstracts; and Regarding Flows in Monochrome. I hope that the viewer will find it a collection that rewards slow viewing, regarding the flowing waters in each images to explore the textures and colours that make this type of photography so rewarding.

Regarding Flowing Water is available in the Mallerstang Magic Shop in book form for £30 + postage, or as a pdf that can be downloaded for £10
