Impressions / by Wayne Sills

The interaction of light, colour and shape, be it within the framing of distant landscapes or at the macro level of intimate staged environments, is a theme that seems to echo within my own collection of photographic expressions.

I actually get very excited when looking through the viewfinder to discover a visual pattern that promises to reveal much more than the actual subject material at hand! And often it can be just only one particular ray of sunlight or just the smallest, sparkling glimmer of water reflection, which can change the mundane into an almost spiritual experience.   

A few summers back, I was paddling on an almost still lake just after sunrise and the glow of the tips of the reeds enhanced by the rising warmth of the day seemed to perfectly frame the loon ahead, grooming itself and floating along in solitude. The moment was memorable.
