Let there be Light.....


Today as I was on the 7:10am London bound train to work. Bored to death. So I started thinking about Light. Pure and Simple Light.

Im so facinated with how Light can transform a landscape and how drops of light can tanalisingly touch any object or surface and create a whole new world and feeling.

Ive always been facinated how a master cameraman can capture the effect of light on their subjects. When the photograph is viewed its not the subject the jumps out and grabs your attention, but the beauty of the Dancing Light. It captivates and draws the observer deeper and deeper into the image. Often im lost in these gems of a photograph.

Once I climbed Helvellyn http://www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walks/walks1/w156.shtml the 2nd largest mountain in England, one icy January. Not an easy climb through mist, fog and ice. But when I got to the top it was not the view (lack of ) that amazed me. Instead it was the small hole in the clouds where the suns rays broke through. A Heavenly Spotlight dancing over the beautiful mountain top. It lasted only for 2 minutes. But I saw it. I saw the Light.

The Arctic ....ashes to ashes

Travel log - Last month i went on an Arctic Expedition. An Expedition around the Archipeligo island of Svalbard.

In fact those few (strangers) thought i had made their day by mentioning this fact. Were they wanting shot of me?? they had only just met me... hmmm i wonder now.... The truth of it was i wanted to find inner peace, a calmness, a happiness from within. I wanted to go there and feel one with the landscape. I would go alone. so did i find it ? did i find my Utopia ? The answer - NO! and i have only myself to blame for this - for I did far too much talking, far too much laughing, far too much merry making.... But its gotta be said .. it was one of the most enjoyable times of mylife. The landscape was absolutely jaw dropping. The majestic glaciers were unbelievable. So unashamedly and unbelievably BEAUTIF...
