Photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — After days of dust and travel you will arrive here, to the crossing place. You will feel compelled to choose, but you cannot wade across: the water is too deep. And you should not swim: there are too many crocs. Please also do not leave your baggage, for we promise it will vanish before your return. So, what will you do? If you have been around a little while, you understand the joke. There is the boat, or nothing. No one remembers how it got here; possibly an Italian came this far up the Omo and abandoned it. Or a Belgian went downriver and then one night disappeared into the bush. Whatever, the boat is old and unreliable. Some days it runs, some days it doesn’t, one day it’s here and the next it’s gone. We recommend that you don’t bother crossing. Drive on as far as you can, or, better, start walking. You will encounter great oxbows that swallow half a day’s journey, and enormous mosquitoes and herds of wary cattle armed with great horns to fend off lions. This photograph is our way of telling you that really it doesn’t matter which side you're on. Consider the message of geometry—the frond in the boy’s hand, the wake of the boat behind him. Coming or going, upriver or down, patterns calmly repeating. When the boy asks what you are doing here, tell him you just wanted to see if what you’d heard was true.

Water. It runs through all of our work. In every story, every photograph, water is present—or by its absence still leaves a mark. This series is an exploration of ideas and places that are connected by water, and the ways our lives, memories and work have been shaped by it. Join us @randyolson & @neilshea13 for the journey.
