Spirit Bear, Gribbell Island, BC by Jon McCormack
Via Flickr:
British Columbia’s Gitga’at First Nation believe that the raven, creator of the rainforest, turned every 10th black bear white as a reminder of the last ice age. Geneticists understand that the white coat is the result of a double recessive gene in black bears. No one knows why the spirit bear (known locally as Moksgm’ol) only exists in a small part of Canada’s Great Bear Rain Forest. It’s just one of nature’s miracles.
Estimates of how many spirit bears exist vary. Some scientists believe there may be as many as 400. Some believe there may be as few as 200. This makes them more rare than a giant panda – and harder to find. My journey to find a spirit bear involved two plane flights, a ferry ride, a float plane ride, two zodiac trips, multiple nights on a boat, and a long hike through a rain forest. I’d willingly travel twice as far to get another glimpse of these majestic animals. Photographing this bear was, by far, the most profound thing I’ve done with my camera.

Colors play heavily throughout your tumblr. Crisp brights to ominous darks... you seem to have an eye for color and its impact. As a photographer how do you decide when to remove color from your work and go with a black and white picture?
Oohhh…. thank you!
That’s a great question!
The timeless and classic quality that B&W lends itself to an image is what makes it magical.
Sometimes I *don’t* know until I’m editing and as crazy as it sounds… the picture just…. *begs* to be black and white.
If the focus in the image is on one thing but it’s busy all around, I’ll often convert. A portrait of an individual taken in the middle of a farmers market would be a perfect example.
I shoot the majority of births in B&W.
(A lot of people are gishy when it comes to blood and shooting in B&W ensures that I don’t have to censor the scene of such an important event.)
When I shoot anything living, I always try to deliver at least one or two outstanding, breathtaking B&W images.
I guess… to me… it strips away everything that doesn’t matter…. and sometimes if it’s done right… you’re left with an image full of soul and you can’t tell if that image was taken yesterday or 50 years ago.
And …. it doesn’t even matter because you’re lost in the subject itself. That’s the perfect B&W image.
Rambling. 😏
Have a wonderful Sunday! ☺
