Scots Bay Prokudin-Gorskii


Another Prokudin-Gorskii composite, this time of the beach in Scots Bay, Nova Scotia. I used regular B/W film instead of infrared film, but I'm still not pleased with the results. I want to try to get much more vibrant colours using this technique. Will try again.

Grand Pré



"Was it a year or lives ago
We took the grasses in our hands,
And caught the summer flying low
Over the waving meadow lands,
And held it there between our hands?"

-Bliss Carman, Low Tide on Grand Pré

Bay of Fundy


I am now at my residency in Nova Scotia! I walked down to the beach from the centre today, overlooking the Bay of Fundy. I had heard about how the highest tides in the world are here, but it didn't strike me how fast and how far the tide moves until I saw it. The tide must have advanced about 20 meters in the half hour or so I was down there. It is intimidating, almost frightening, and very exciting, to see something so big moving so fast.
