The Arch. Newfoundland. 2003. 30 x 40 in. Cibachrome print. I traveled over 5000 km in search of that one moment that would define the entire landscape of Newfoundland in a single frame of film. I waited alone in my car for three days until the true essence of The Arch was revealed by a solitary crashing rogue wave at twilight. The last pink rays from a dying sun illuminates a small section of water near the crest, transforming it into a red ball of light to complete the convergence of artist, light, and land as one. #newfoundland #arch #canadianartist #canadianart #nondigital #nofilter #mediumformat #fujifilm #filmphoto #filmisnotdead #cibachrome #cibachromeprint #canada #landscapephotography #canadianlandscape #pentax67 #inthenow #spiritualjourney #intothelight #awakening

It was an honour to introduce Canada The Light on Our Land to Joseph Roberts who organized Vancouver's first ever Walk for Peace and helped start the Common Ground magazine in 1982. The publication covers topics such as health and wellness, the environment and personal growth and reaches a quarter million readers across Canada every month. Together we are holding an original Cibachrome print of RED MAPLE, one of my most significant images from the Canada The Light on Our Land... series captured near Algonquin Park in 2001. www.commonground.ca #redmaple #cibachrome #vancouver #commonground #connection #unity #landscapephotography #fujivelvia #alqonquinpark #filmphoto #analogphoto #pentax67 #canadianartist #canada #canadianlandscape #canadianart #peace

Durst 8 x 10 Darkroom Enlarger (Made in Italy circa 1980's) Light passes through the negative directly onto the photo paper without the use of a computer. Thanks to the fine details present in the large format film shot through the wood camera, photographs up to 5 x 6 feet in size can be created. The depth and tactile qualities of the handmade traditional photographic print cannot be matched by any modern-day digital printing process.... #darkroom #8x10 #ilford #bnw #blackandwhite #bnwphotography #largeformatphoto #enlarger #filmphoto #madeinitaly #canadianartist #analog #silvergelatin #deardorff #slowart #traditionalphotography #canadianart #lostart
