“Ground Meets Water”: Photographs by Michael Chovan-Dalton

Joseph Lawton, associate professor of photography, curated this exhibition by Michael Chovan-Dalton.

After moving to Hoboken in 1993, Chovan-Dalton found himself being drawn to ponds, reservoirs, and rivers that had become fishing holes for families. “The spiritual and adventurous interactions between parents and children, along with the feeling that a tradition or an important skill was being passed along, was fascinating and beautiful to me,” he said.
