Perfect sequel to "My Maryland," Bodine's best-selling pictorial tribute to the Free State, and his latest, "The Face of Maryland." But this is more than a sequel: it is the first published photographic documentary of the Bay. A beautiful and graphic story of the "Mediterranean of America"…its tributaries and shores which reach into Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
In more than 35 years of capturing the Bay in its many moods, Bodine has made thousands of photographs of this alluring body of water. His finest appear in "Chesapeake Bay and Tidewater."
"...more than a collection of superb photographs…a book with a theme, interpreting with fidelity not only the mood but also the meaning and significance of the Chesapeake Bay country."-RACHEL CARSON

The Bay is the Susquehanna Flats on a fall morning, the sand beaches on an August afternoon, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard at dusk, and the Calvert Cliffs flooded with moonlight.
The Bay is the scent of loblolly pine, the pencil-thin lines of the Bay bridge, the taste of real Maryland fried chicken and Smithfield ham, the quizzical expression of a waterman as he watches a Johns Hopkins University scientist test salinity of the water with a variety of test tubes and instruments.
The Bay is the Miles Riv...
