Water & Stone

Four stories from the archive, and the complete record behind them.

◦ Contents

The Waterfall Build

From a lattice of rebar to water falling over stacked stone — one build, photographed by the people digging it.

After Dark

LED scenes photographed at night — the hour a pool stops being a place to swim and becomes something to look at.

The Fountain Garden

Raised spa, carved lion fountain, planted urns — a pool composed like a parterre.

At Blue Hour

Three frames in the few minutes when the house lights and the pool lights hold equal weight.

St. Louis, Missouri

The Archive

Every publishable photograph in the Galati archive — two hundred ninety-nine frames of excavation, stonework, waterlines, and finished pools across the St. Louis area.
