Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts (GISPA) students take a break from practice for this promotional photo. GISPA and the various Gulf Islands Secondary music students have their end-of-semester performance at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island Friday. This annual performance always sells out so get your tickets now. See you there!
A calm moment in an energetic and phenomenal performance by this young actress. The Gulf Islands Secondary’s 2nd Story Productions entertained an ArtSpring audience with The Odyssey this week.

Photographer’s Note:
At the risk of repeating myself, I find great satisfaction in working in any way with the talented young people on the Island. The performing arts at GISS is my support cause this year.
This shot was one of a great many taken on stage during the technical dress rehearsal. The students have come to expect a photographer wandering through the scenes as they develop.
photo details: ISO 3200 Canon f/2.0 135L at f/2.8 1/500 sec
Gulf Islands Secondary dancers perform The Passing at ArtSpring Theatre on Salt Spring Island.
This shot is from ‘Inescapable’, choreographed and performed by GISPA (the Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts) and their instructor, Sonia Langer.

Photographer’s notes:
This is a unedited single exposure. The intent was to convey the energy and motion of the dance, the sound track and the performers.

Thursday morning, 7:48 am. Under the watchful eye of a resident tug, the pre-dawn glow illuminates the sea and sky. A Saltspring Air flight stops in Ganges before heading to the Vancouver seaplane terminal.
This post marks a year of Salt Spring Photos on this “new” website and almost three years of documenting the place and lifestyle of this beautiful Gulf Island.
Thanks for visiting. See you Monday, January 2, 2012.
