Last weekend I visited Portland, Maine with my wife and one-year-old son. Due to graduate school I haven’t done much landscape photography lately, so I jumped at the opportunity to photograph Portland Head Light, the oldest lighthouse in Portland. The baby, seeking vengeance on me for the long car-seat ride, kept me awake until about 1am. I still managed to pull myself out of bed at 4am, albeit in a state of grogginess which resembled heavy intoxication. The grogginess persisted as I drove to the lighthouse, and as a result I managed to miss no fewer than 3 turns and run 2 red lights, even with my voice-guided GPS. Thankfully, there was no one else out on the road at that time! I arrived on the scene almost an hour early, but the access gate to the park was closed. I parked the car and attempted to problem solve the situation with all the mental prowess I could manage, which admittedly was not much. I was still in a fatigued stupor, and consequently I spent a great deal more time than I care to admit staring at the closed gate and doing nothing. It was surprisingly difficult to climb, and I was also afraid to damage my camera equipment, and so there I stood. Then, as fate would have it, the sky lit up in brilliant pinks and purples! This was the adrenaline shot I needed. I quickly found a spot where I could squeeze under the gate, and once through, I began racing towards the lighthouse. Unfortunately, the best light had dissipated by the time I arrived, so I contented myself to hunting for a composition, and waiting for the sun to rise above the horizon. This was the end result. I drank in the beauty of the scene for over an hour, and savored the solitude of the morning. Despite the lack of sleep, it was one of the most refreshing mornings I have had in a long time. Thanks for looking!
