Tribute To Rigel!

Please see below for the Japanese translation! This series of photos is dedicated to my good friend Rigel, one of the amazing teachers at the American School in Japan, and an excellent cyclist, and a wonderful all-round good person! Rigel just got back from a satisfying trip to a number of places, including a camp property he owns in Nova Scotia. Not until now have I realized that one of my greatest photo adventures happened so close to that property. In 2015, I attended a family wedding on the east coast and then drove to Perce, which is just north of Nova Scotia. I then took a boat to Bonaventure Island, one of the world's best places to photograph gannets. I will never forget that experience. After a short 30 minute boat ride, there is a 30 minute hike to the bird sanctuary. As I walked down the final hill to the birds, I could hear the most incredibly loud sound of thousands of these gannets. For the next four hours, my shutter went mad as I took 3000 photos...
