I had set out on the east coast with one goal in mind. To capture that feeling of the North Atlantic salty air, and a maritime village that shows years of history painted with blood and sweat from local fishermen, in a picture that had not yet been done. There are so many iconic images from this coast that I knew it would be a big undertaking to find a new one.
I spent a couple days driving all over Nova Scotia looking for the right place, and as usual if you put enough effort into something you will be rewarded. I saw the ”shot” and planned to come back the following morning for the sunrise. It was winter in the North Atlantic, so it was a little chilly to say the least. As I stood and watched the sunrise, time seemed to freeze but within minutes of pressing the shutter, the whole scene quickly changed before my eyes as the boats motored out of the harbour and into the unforgiving North Atlantic Ocean.
With a friendly maritime wave from a fisherman the whole scene was over.
