His magazine credits include The New York Times Magazine Smithsonian Audubon Sierra Natural History Islands Travel Holiday and Coastal Living Magazine.

Those who know and love the Chesapeake will find the bay they treasure on the pages of Water's Way: Life along the Chesapeake. The story of one of North America's most fascinating regions unfolds through the sensitive photographs and prose of two men who have studied the Chesapeake all their lives. Photographer David W. Harp and writer Tom Horton vividly portray how as Horton writes "the edges where land and water meet charm us all from watermen to watercolorists and beachcombers to duck hunters." Water's Way will guide you to "those rare hidden nooks of the bay country where nature still appears as glorious and untrammeled as it did a thousand years ago." It will also take you to less hidden but equally intriguing sites within the Chesapeake's reach as Harp and Horton depict the worlds of both nature and humans. An intimate knowledge of and an unwavering reverence for the bay pervade Water's Way. Harp and Horton are as attuned to the romance that still clings to the Chesapeake as they are to the realities that inspire and threaten it. In a time when the region faces tremendous changes and challenges Water's Way is neither strident nor sentimental. Rather it is suffused with the fundamental respect for the bay which Harp and Horton see as key to its survival.
