Journey of Illumination, the Rising of the Sun, Summer Solstice

Having walked the Harbour Road to the East Pier I arrived at the edge of Balscadden Bay just as the Sun rose fully above the horizon. I felt my breath pause in suspense and having taken in the beauty of the moment for myself I quickly assembled my camera to capture the moment. To me Photography is to capture a singular moment in time, unfettered, unchanged, unedited, glorious in its raw beauty. I am a lover and practitioner of pure photography, for the Art of Light and Moment is a singular beauty all to itself. This is that moment, the moment in the longest day when the Sun shone her beauty fully upon the horizon for the first time.
