Colin at O-Deck
14 09 2007This is Colin Kemp, World Kayak guru, formerly of Washington, DC, currently of Reno, NV, on Observation Deck Rapids near DC. The guy with the tripod is Roy Sewall, a pro photographer who asked us to “pose” for photos for his photo art book about the Potomac. This was fall of 06, I believe. I’m not sure if the other photographers were working with him or tourists. I just like the way this photo turned out.
One of the cool things about O-Deck is that it’s right below Great Falls. Colin is looking upstream at an 80-foot high cascade right in front of him. Intimidating and very impressive.
The white stuff on the rocks is a type of diatom that turns white when it dries out during certain seasons. When it’s wet it’s green/brown and slick as ice.
