Honorable Mention
Barge Chilling Beach
DESCRIPTION
In November of 2021, A barge weighing approximately 3.5 million pounds drifted loose from its anchor during an atmospheric weather event in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Barge would wash ashore at English Bay near the popular tourist spot called the Sea Wall. Locals began calling its location Barge Chilling Beach, and the shipwreck would take on a life of its own via internet memes and conversations. The Ship would be cemented in place for about a year before it was fully dismantled and removed in November of 2022. This photograph is of an event now lost to time. An event created by Mother Nature. AUTHOR
My name is Holden Perpelitz, I’m photographer from British Columbia, Canada. I've been taking photographs since 2017 and stumbled into the art by pure accident. In three short years I’ve been able to travel immensely with a camera by my side, and self publish my first travel photography book entitled Hemispheres.I’ve been lucky enough to visit beautiful, and far out places such as Peru, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Israel, the UAE, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, as well as some not so far out places such as the United States of America. It was with my thirst for travel that my love for photography fell into place.
Starting out with an iPhone camera, I travelled the back country of Canada extensively, climbing mountains all over British Columbia and Alberta. It was here where I discovered my passion for capturing pure, natural beauty in a lens to show friends how beautiful our home really is. From here my interest stemmed and I picked up my first DSLR camera which I took around the world and back, shooting everything for my first book.
