Week 4

Sunrise on the Island

I took this picture back in September just on my iPhone, however this picture holds a lot of really special memories to me. I took this picture at sunrise on an island called Nalunega that is located about forty miles off the coast of Panama. It is inhabited by an indigenous group of people called the Guna Yala. Visiting this island and experiencing the culture of this indigenous group was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. I took this picture from a man made wooden dock at 5:45 in the morning surrounded by two of my closest friends. The lighting created by the sun coming up coloring the entire sky and ocean was incredibly moving. This picture has always served as an inspiration and reminder of this incredible experience and how I felt at that given moment. At some point I would love to use this picture as inspiration for a lighting design that could recreate the feeling I had at the time of this picture on stage.
