Wallace Island, British Columbia
Dark: devoid or partially devoid of light: not receiving, reflecting, transmitting, or radiating light. The complete absence of light. Null and void. And darkness was upon the face of the Earth…
Light: not dark, intense, or swarthy in coloring; to shine, transmit, or radiate. Something that makes vision possible, the sensation aroused by stimulation of the visual receptors. It is the energy that literally surrounds us each and every day of our lives. Light is a wave form so omnipresent that we rarely stop to contemplate it, to bend our minds around the concept it. Yet how we see light and how we react to light of course colors our perception of the world in which we choose to live.
But how do we capture that light, how do we represent it in such a way as to share our own perceptions of light with others? How do we make something so commonplace become almost ethereal? How do we come out of the darkness and into the glorious light?
With a camera of course!
Our setting for this photographic journey is over 900 nautical miles of the fabled inside passage from Seattle to Juneau onboard the National Geographic Sea Lion. Our time frame: twelve days. Our challenge is not to control the light, but rather to capture it in all of its variations and moods. To find light in all of its forms, from dappled and drowsy, subdued and subtle, bold and brilliant, to fiery and overpowering, this is our goal. To go forth into this amazing landscape, not only to look, but to truly see our subjects in a whole new way.
Can we rise to the challenge? Can we truly see the light? Stay tuned here as we share the light of this incredible journey with you…
