    The document is a collection of photographs taken by David Duchemin in Venice, Italy during unusually high tides in November 2019. The tides, the second highest ever recorded, prompted Duchemin to change his photographic approach for the city, which he has photographed for almost 12 years but still finds elusive. The photographs are early sketches for a new printed collection documenting Duchemin's work over the last decade in Venice, inspired by the Russian poet Joseph Brodsky and his book "Watermark" about Venice. The PDF provides a first look at the new work for Duchemin's supporters whose contributions have allowed him to travel and photograph extraordinary places.

    WATERMARK

    DAVID DUCHEMIN
    WATERMARK
    DAVID DUCHEMIN

    On November 12, 2019, Venice was hit by the highest tides since 1966, the second highest in
    recorded history. I was there, photographing and teaching, exploring themes of solitude and
    the idea that Venice, despite the almost 12 years for which I’ve been photographing her, still
    remains elusive, full of anonymous people. It’s a beautiful city that has yet to fully open herself
    to me. That’s what I was exploring when the waters rose, begging me to change my approach.
    This is a collection of the images from that time. It’s not so much a cohesive body of work as
    it is a sneak peek for you and a chance for me to play with the sketches and see where they’re
    leading me as I work toward a new printed collection from the last decade.

    This short PDF is a first glimpse at my new work created exclusively for you, the community
    that so patiently allows me to teach and inspire you. Your support means the world to me and
    is largely responsible for getting me to the astonishing places I photograph. I’m so grateful for
    that. Grazie Mille.

    The title of this monograph is borrowed very self-consciously from the Russian poet Joseph
    Brodsky, whose body lies buried in Venice and whose book, Watermark, is about as poetic a
    tribute to this city as any outsider could make. Like Brodsky, Venice has left an indelible mark
    on me.
    David duChemin is a Canadian pho-
    tographer based on Vancouver Island,
    but at home on any of this of this plan-
    et’s seven astonishing continents. He
    divides his attention between creating
    images of hope for advocacy and fund-
    raising projects for the international
    humanitarian & NGO community, and
    pursuing personal work in wild places.

    A passionate advocate of the photo-


    graphic arts, David is the author of
    several books, including Within The
    Frame, The Soul of the Camera, and
    The Heart of the Photograph (to be
    released in 2020.)

    David’s work can be found online at


    DavidduChemin.com, his books can
    be found on Amazon, and his pod-
    cast about the creative life, A Beautiful
    Anarchy, can be found on iTunes, or
