Description
I seldom shoot an image of a person, but I made an exception on this beautiful morning. I was the first to arrive at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Maine well before dawn, so I began to shoot some nightscapes that transitioned into the blue hour and twilight. At one point, I turned to see an elderly man in the distance walking onto the grounds and heading toward a lone bench from which he could view the sunrise, as it rose above the Atlantic Ocean. I quietly wondered if this was part of his daily ritual. In any event, I worked other areas around the lighthouse until just before sunrise, as I wanted to get a backlit image of this man's sitting and taking it all in, yet making sure that I did not disturb him. He may as well have been sitting in the only pew in his private church.
