Please join us in person or online at 7:00PM on 15 October 2026 for a presentation from our very own Darwin Green. Darwin is a Maryland-based photographer originally from Southern California. His work explores the meeting points between people, the built environment, and the natural world, with particular attention to landscapes shaped by water. His current project, Where the Water Waits, is an ongoing photographic portrait of the Chesapeake Bay assembled through extensive travel across Maryland and Virginia. Green works professionally as a licensed clinical professional counselor and is a single father. 

Where the Water Waits is an ongoing photographic portrait of the Chesapeake Bay and the lives, structures, and systems gathered along its edges. After making Maryland his home, Darwin Green was inspired to explore the Bay and develop a deeper understanding of the environment surrounding him. He has since traveled to nearly 100 locations across Maryland and Virginia, photographing watermen, waterfront communities, wildlife, industry, architecture, and the changing relationship between land and water.

The project is organized into four overlapping themes: People, Structures, Systems, and Seascapes.  It is envisioned as a set of four interconnected fine-art books. In this presentation, Green will discuss how the project developed from a travel-photography assignment into a sustained study of the Chesapeake, the planning and equipment used in the field, and the challenge of shaping hundreds of photographs into a cohesive body of work.
