  • Thunder Bay (ON, Canada): In the craft of photography, the completed image is missing elements that may have influenced the photographer at the time of capture. Not present are the sound, scent, thought, circumstance, past expervience and emotion the photographer was in the midst of. That’s part of what can make photography uniquely beautiful and individual. At least to this photographer.<br />
<br />
How the viewer sees the final photograph is unique. To residents of Thunder Bay, the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is instantly recognizable in this photograph. To those not familiar with this beautiful landmark, does the photography still stand on its own? I think this image plays both parts equally well. I’ve titled it Shadow and Snow.<br />
<br />
It was a mild winter day. The first melt of the year. Perfect for a walk along Thunder Bay’s Port Arthur harbourfront. As often happens I found it hard to ignore the scene playing out in front of me. Looking out past the shore of Lake Superior to its frozen top-water and the Sleeping Giant in the distance, I was taken with how shadow and texture danced together. How they complemented one another. To me, it was striking. The afternoon sun was the perfect conductor as I imagined what music Mother Nature was playing. Heheh. Hopefully you get the idea.<br />
<br />
The stars of the show in this photograph are shadow, light and texture with the Sleeping Giant and sky adding the final layers of story.<br />
<br />
Bright afternoon sun bouncing off a snow-covered lake isn’t an ideal photography situation without the proper camera gear. I hadn’t planned to photograph so I pulled out what I had on-hand... my mobile camera phone... to see what I could do. While this photograph may not be technically perfect, it’s close. Imperfectly perfect, one could say. <br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it.

The set up: It was a mild winter day. The first melt of the year. Perfect for a walk along Thunder Bay’s Port Arthur harbourfront. As often happens I found it hard to ignore the scene playing out in front of me. Looking out past the shore of Lake Superior to its frozen top-water and the Sleeping Giant in the distance, I was taken with how shadow and texture danced together. How the shadow cast by a neighbouring tree splayed across the scene. How they all complemented one another. To me, it was striking. The afternoon sun was the perfect conductor as I imagined what music Mother Nature was playing. Okay… a little cheesy, but hopefully you get the idea.<br />

With this photograph I wanted to show viewers not just the size of Thunder Bay’s waterfront, but also to give an idea of how many residents live very close to the shores of Lake Superior. This provides easy access to the harbourfront’s Marina and Port via a short walk or car ride.<br />
<br />
The Port of Thunder Bay is home to the only Canadian shipyard at the head of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system. Coming from Toronto, I’d never seen such large sea vessels with such frequency. The Port was built to provide access to European markets for Western Canadian grain producers.
