Grand River Fish Petroglyph

Along the Grand River in Michigan, a series of petroglyphs can be found on rocks sporting a number of different species of fish, all of which can be found in the water. Kevin exercised his skills pertaining to attention to detail as he was able to capture not only the eloquent curves and scales of each individual fish, but a pulse and movement they may create in the water. The fish feel alive and the community response to the pieces has been magnetic.
