The Save
Marty Jo Henry
$100.00
Selected for catalog
Artist statement: This is from my series called the Salmon River Project. I grew up around the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY where fishing is a big draw, I usually avoid the town during Salmon season but decided to go in and bring my camera to check out what was going on. While looking over the river from a great vantage point, this drama unfolded before me and was relieved the fly fishermen were near by to rescue the man being swept away by the current..and was also glad I had my camera to catch it!
