The River Inside


In August 2003, John Guider walked out the back door of his home in Franklin, TN and placed a canoe in the creek behind his house. Three months later, he had paddled all the way to New Orleans. Along the way, Guider kept a detailed journal and took hundreds of remarkable photographs, documenting his amazing journey that led him down five rivers, including the Mighty Mississippi. A traveling exhibition of his photography and the companion coffee table book, The River Inside, chronicle this life changing experience and bring this adventure to thousands of Arm-Chair Adventurers across America. All of the images in this portfolio are Platinum Prints. Read more about the Platinum Process >
