Water Pictures Doing
Here?
*edited 9/1/2020
Let’s tell the story of the
pictures that represent who we are, shall we? This is our classic waterfall
picture that we have used from our entrance into the internet world around ten years ago or so. It was taken by our drummer, Tony, pictured with his work. (Tony
is actually quite an accomplished pro-type photographer.) It was taken at “The
Flume” at Franconia Notch in New Hampshire.Our name is a Biblical one, with
deep meaning. ‘Living Waters’, Mayim Chaim - מים חיים is water that is flowing,
alive, life-giving. It has been used by the Bible to connote God’s Holy Spirit
of Love, and his quenching our spiritual thirst and hunger in the Eucharist, as
in Psalm 42. We used this picture for our first album, “Refresh”, containing
classic full-band tracks. Here is the result below. If you look really closely,
you will find tiny words hidden among the crags; I didn’t know how to get rid
of them at the time, so there they stayed!
Here is a close-up of the
script band title which we have used at times:
Another classic was taken
when the bass player, Dave, went to the ultimate waterfall, Niagara. His
daughter took the photo. This frozen yet flowing scene was perfect for our
Christmas album, “The Joy”, named for Mike’s song. I should really give credit
to my wife, Julia, for her sense of presentation for these pictures. Pictured
are Dave & Kathy and Jackie at her wedding.
In 2015, I took a quick
snap of the water at Mine Falls Park in Nashua, NH, for our newest EP, “Alive
Again”. This is the result, as seen on BandCamp:
Another picture we have used is from the altar of my school's chapel, depicting Psalm 42, and the Eucharist:
And we took pictures of the Falls of Song in NH (how appropriate!). This was adapted and used for the cover of "Still Flowing":
And in 2019 we obtained a great picture for our new album, and a brand new group shot:
Peace & Love & JOY,
Mark LaJOIE!
