As you glide along in a ferry-boat on New York City’s magnificent East River waterway, this commute is the right moment to pause and contemplate our relationship to water. From the ancient Persian kings beating the sea with chains, to Vikings sailing to new lands, to modern-day surfers riding the waves, mankind has always been in awe of water’s immense presence and power – and has sought to explore and tame it.
To celebrate the success of Drawn To Water (a floating photographic exhibition) the East River Ferry invited photographers to share their favorite photos that illustrates the relationship between NYC and H2O.
