Exposure

The twenty four photographs in this collection are of, and about, the Canadian Rockies. They are also, in more than one sense, about exposure - in the sense, most obviously, that all photography is the result of the exposure of a medium (analogue film, a digital sensor etc.) to light.

The photographs are also, however, a record of exposures of a different sort - the exposure of rocks and lakes and mountain tops to wintry weather; the physical exposure of the photographer or visitor to the raw, untrammelled force of the elements; the aesthetic and emotional exposure to nature and the universe that we feel in such awe-inspiring places; the spiritual and metaphysical exposure that arises when we feel in our bones our small and vulnerable place in the world.
