Reviews
"The Colorado-born photographer makes a stirring case for the preservation of an iconic American waterway--some 40 million citizens use its supply daily--battered by overuse and climate change, but still magnificent through his lens." -- The New York Times Book Review

"I've admired McBride's Colorado river work for years. He captures the Colorado River's iconic wonder and challenges with artistic imagery and sobering prose. Chasing Water is an epic collection of art that cries for awareness and conservation." -- Jimmy Chin, Oscar-winning filmmaker, photographer

"A poignant tribute to the beauty of the American Southwest, McBride's Chasing Water is his best work yet. His iconic imagery captures the plight and resilience of the Colorado River, urging each of us to stand for its protection." -- Paul Nicklen, Co-founder and Lead Storyteller Sealegacy

"As a fellow conservationist and fan of McBride's work, I cannot stress enough the importance of this book. Chasing Water boldly confronts the Colorado River's troubled history of misuse, uncovering hope and beauty in America's most beloved and over-litigated river." -- Cristina Mittermeier, Co-founder and Lead Storyteller Sealegacy

"McBride's masterpiece Colorado River book communicates the beauty, the heartbreak, and the hope for the river in a way that only his pictures can. It is really powerful." -- Jennifer Pitt, Audubon's Colorado River Program Director
