Block's North Light

As part of my recent trip to Block Island with Profundo Journeys, we had several early morning shoots to make the most of our short four day workshop. First up was a sunrise shoot at North Light out on a spit of beach that protrudes northward towards the mainland.

Somewhat calm waters that wouldn't threaten my life, and wonderfully...
