This past Friday world renowned Photographer Peter Lik released his newest piece Sunset Dreams. It's a new variation on a theme he has done before, a jetty extending out into calm waters. The picture entices you to reach out...take that special someones hand and step right into the picture to stroll along the jetty to enjoy that magnificent sunset together. In his last piece like this the picture was all about cool blues during the day. This one is about a sunset bursting with a multitude of purples, pinks, reds, oranges, and blues. If like me as a kid you had the big box of Crayola's see how many colors you can name.
In addition to Sunset Dreams Peter decided to surprise the crowd and sent over Endless Summer...which I believe turned out to be the star of the show. Endless Summer is a Trestle extending out high over lapping waves with highlights of light throughout the piece. It's primarily cool blues and grays yet like many of his photographs packs an emotional punch. The incredible blue color towards the end of the tunnel like trestle is incredible.
For those not familiar with Peter Lik's works...they are not as many suspect back-lit. It is a combination of very high end film, the camera he is using and the quality of the printing process they employ. While there are those who are skeptical, for any of you that have seen the incredible colors of a sunset for yourself, the blues of distant oceans, the colors of life under the sea and the colors of flowers on land you realize that these colors exist in nature...whether they be of divine intent or simple scientific light refraction I will leave to you to decide.
