John Harrington has this to say about Chesapeake
Cameron Davidson has taken his vision for a better world to new heights with his latest book – Chesapeake. His stunning visuals provide amazing insights into the beauty and wonder of the Chesapeake bay region. Cameron has taken flight to show the fancy and the mysterious; the awesome power of the water, and the flora and fauna as never before been seen. Even seasoned pilots would be amazed at how Cameron has brought his incredible talent as a photographer to this project and turned what could be boring aerial shots into luxurious portraits of this under appreciated part of the world. What has been clearly a labor of love for many many years now can educate and enlighten you to the wonderment of the Chesapeake.

Writer Extrordinaire Mark Derr says:
Combining his passion for flying, his abiding love for the Chesapeake Bay, and his compulsion to record what he sees–even if it means hanging out the window of a sharply banked single-engine plane–Cameron Davidson has created a magic carpet ride of a book. In these photographs, Davidson presents the Bay through all seasons, at all times of day–though he and his cameras love mornings and evenings best—as no one, I dare say, has done before or is likely to do again. The natural and built worlds that are so often locked in mortal combat stand not juxtaposed but interwoven in a way that shows the complexity and fragility of the Bay today. Whether tomorrow we will continue to use the Bay as a battleground in the war on nature or turn it into a model for a more sustainable and sane way of living on this planet is the primary question underlying this remarkable book.

Ace Rock and Roll shooter Jackie Roman says:
“Cameron Davidson’s Chesapeake is a book that simultaneously serves as a definitive document on the the Chesapeake Bay Watershed region, and abstract topographical masterpiece. Cameron takes us on a tour of the region in a helicopter at 500 feet, and shows us intimate detail in every crevasse, and magic in every reflection. This book is a treasure.”

National Geographic Contract shooter, underwater master and bravest shooter that I know, says:
Flipping through the pages of Chesapeake by Cameron Davidson, is to be aloft, nearly weightless and experiencing a bird’s-eye view of these spectacular landscapes. Davidson,a master of aerial photography, takes the reader into the skies of this diverse region and on a guided tour of one stunning scene after another, from snow covered rivers to meandering rivers to vibrant cities. It is a view of places often seen, but never quite like this. A true visual treat!
Nels Israelson, Lighting Master and a fantastic Advertising shooter says this about the book.
Every page in Cameron Davidson’s “Chesapeake” is a rich treasure: in addition to being a delight to behold, the compendium of sumptuous aerial imagery enhances our understanding of this sprawling, complex watershed. The book is a remarkable accomplishment.
George Fulton says:
Cameron’s Chesapeake work stuns. Those images that aren’t simply breathtaking are outrageously stirring. He is a colorist and textural designer at 1500 feet, posing as a photographer. Cameron’s aerials are in that class called the best of the best and this book belongs on every coffee table and on every bookshelf.
Karen Kasmauski and her thoughts on the Chesapeake book
As long as I have known Cameron Davidson, he has had a passion for the Chesapeake Bay. This passion is clearly expressed in his gorgeous and lush aerial photographs of tributaries, rivers and the great body of water, which makes up the Chesapeake Bay watershed. From the air, Cameron shows not only the natural history but the economic legacy of the bay; the fishermen, the Bay Bridge Tunnel, coastal beaches, even the industrial ports of Norfolk and Baltimore, all shown beautifully and graphically. These images can be found in Cameron’s newest book: “Chesapeake”. I was raised in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, which hugs the lower end of the Bay before it empties out into the Atlantic Ocean. I have great memories of my young life near and on the Bay. If anyone wanted to share those memories with me, I would give them “Chesapeake”. Through Cameron’s photography, they will understand why I and others touched by the Bay also have a great passion for it.
