Chaseing the Light

As a photographer light is the most important part of equation.No light no photo.But I wonder how many people understand the complexity of light,Last night I watch a documentary on light.It was fascinating look what we see,feel and are controlled by every day.Living in the Arctic you feel more emotionally connected to light.The lack of light in the winter and the over dose of it in summer.As the sun just peeks over the horizon I wonder what the light will show me today?

Eyes Wide Shut

It amazes me how many people can look at an object an fail to see everything there is to see.Recently I have been noticing lately that more and more people tend to look right past the simple beauty in nature and only look see what they need.A shadow that lays across an object or a wisp of fog that hugs the lake.These are the very things that many people wish they can get away from there hurried lives to see when many times there is the same beauty right in front of them.
Here is my picture of the day.

Chaseing the Moment

Tonight I just finished watching a TV show all about the impressionist and their work.The story was told through the eyes of Monet.There was a quote from Monet that he spent his career chasing the moment.Chasing the light.
As photographers that is what we do .We chase the perfect light.We use our equipment to capture a single moment in time and we hope that others will enjoy our vision.Some pictures tell stories others just effect our emotions.
Here is my first photo of 2010.
