From its humble beginnings in the mountains of West Virginia, the Potomac River meanders its way east on its journey to the Atlantic Coast. Coursing through steep ravines and over rock-strewn riverbeds in its upper reaches, the initially humble appearance of the river gradually increases in its expanse as it flows down the Potomac Valley.
Providing the conduit for a variety of communities along its path, the Potomac builds in its presence on the American landscape, collecting the waters of smaller tributaries and providing the life source for the economic activities that have flourished for generations.

Chromogenic prints are printed on paper that has at least three emulsion layers containing invisible dyes and silver salts. Each emulsion layer is sensitive to a different primary colour of light (red, green or blue). The development process converts the hidden dyes to visible colour depending on the amount of light it was exposed to. This type of paper is commonly used to print from colour negatives or digital files to produce a full-colour image. It can also be used to print black-and-white images, giving softer grain and less contrast than gelatin silver prints. Commonly known as c-type prints, chromogenic processing was developed in the 1940s and widely used for colour printing, including for domestic snapshots. While recent years have seen this process accompanied by ink-jet and digital printing technologies, chromogenic printing still remains in use to this day.
