photo slide show: ingenuity fest

This year's IngenuityFest was, without question, the most successful in the art-and-technology-minded event's relatively short history. Taking place on the super-secret, super-groovy lower level of the Detroit-Superior Bridge, the festival spanned a river while bridging both sides of town.

If you didn't have a chance to make it, fear not. We managed to squeeze three days of mind-bending, jaw-dropping art, technology, music, performance art and waterfalls into one impressive photo slideshow. Let Fresh Water managing photographer Bob Perkoski show you around.

About the Author: Bob Perkoski

Bob is managing photographer with FreshWater as well as a Cleveland freelance photographer. His photographic approach is rooted in the art of storytelling. Whether freezing the energy of an event, encapsulating the magic of a performance, or astutely anticipating the decisive moments, his work displays an innate ability to distill the essence of any scene or subject into a single frame or series of work. In addition, Bob is the official photographer for LAND studio and Holden Forest and Gardens and has worked with various Cleveland organizations. In 2019 he published a book of his photos Rust Belt Burlesque. He's had work published in other books like LGBTQ Cleveland by Ken Schneck, Rust Belt Chic: The Cleveland Anthology, Rust Belt Chic: The Pittsburgh Anthology and Moon Cleveland by Douglas Trattner. Previously he was co-founder/art director for Balanced Living Magazine. You can view his versatile portfolio of work, which includes news coverage, portraiture, architectural and fine art at Perkoski Photography. Originally from Conneaut, Ohio, Perkoski now lives close to the city in Parma. He has been Fresh Water's managing photographer since the publication's September 2010 inception.
