Looking for light in Bar Harbor, Maine

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.” – Og Mandino

I had a little fun with this one. What originally pulled me into this scene to begin with was the overcast sky. It was a dark and kind of dismal morning here on the coastal area of Maine and I was about to explore the National Park called Acadia. Sure I was a bit disappointed when I woke up and looked out the window, but quickly realized that I needed to embrace the challenge ahead. The color in the scene, to be honest with you, was pulled out in post. Its amazing what’s buried deep in those pixels just waiting to be enhanced in the digital darkroom. Its a great little sandbox to play in 🙂

I spend a lot of time looking for light. Whether its lighting a stage (like I am at the present moment), roaming the world with my camera searching for color and detail to capture, or working on my own personal development, searching and appreciating the magic of light seems to be my focus. WIth all that being said, I like to search for quotes that seem to work with my images from time to time. There is a wealth of brilliant perspectives on life out there that I have recently developed a healthy appetite for. I hope you like!
