Emerging from the Black

Once again i find myself working up pictures of one of the most colorful places on Earth and rendering the final images in black & white. Nova Scotia is such an amazing place visually and it's so easy to find oneself seduced by its rich and wonderful color scheme. But these are images that just call to me to scale it back to its bare bones and structure. Surely there will be many more photographs to come that revel in the lush hues of this place, but for just a moment i felt the need to explore the beauty that emerges from the black.

Flora and Fauna

Well, it was inevitable that i would eventually begin showing more images from my last visit to Nova Scotia. I know, enough is enough already you say, but i suppose i am just addicted to the place. Obviously there will be more to come. I'm afraid you will simply have to humor me. Today, some flora and fauna along the Gaff Point trail...

A Bug's Life

Well, maybe you won't see new Nova Scotia photos just yet...
An interlude in the garden perhaps? A bug's life...and death? The cycles continue... ;-)

Haven't a Wing to Fly On

After the Fall ~ ©David Sorcher 2015

Yes, it is true that i am beside myself with embarrassment. It has been more than a month since my last blog post and i'm afraid that my excuses are failing to convince even me. I spent the first ten days of August in Nova Scotia and i certainly should have dipped well into that cache of photo files weeks ago, but  i must say that business really has been rather brisk since returning from the north and i just had to put all my personal work on hold to get it all done. While that just isn't the kind of thing one should ever complain about in the freelance world, i'm really anxious to post some new work on these pages. Hopefully later this week i will manage that. In the meantime, here is one, from the rock cliffs of Gaff Point; the remains of Icarus, grazed by the sun and fallen to the rocky shore below. 
I do wonder where the rest of this hawk ended up and what might have brought about its untimely end.
