Photographer Peter Lolacono

Peter Lolacono, Photographer

Peter LoIacono is a member of Island Trails and describes himself as a seasonal visitor (until recently!) who built a log cabin in Millvale in 2005. Aside from walking and biking on his property and trails throughout the island, as a semiprofessional photographer he enjoys taking pictures of the province from tip to tip. He self-published a photo book of the island a couple years ago called Through a Visitor’s Eyes, Prince Edward Island. All profits are being donated to environmental and conservation organizations on the island.

On one of my walks some years ago in Bonshaw Hills Provincial Park, I had come upon a very intriguing path called Witch’s Way but didn’t know what it was called at the time. Having only my phone and not my camera gear, I snapped a few shots but lamented not being able get the shot I
wanted of these mysterious trees that lined the trail. A year or two later my girlfriend and I were again hiking here, but somehow never came upon this spot despite a lot of walking. It frustrated me until finally, the last time there, and following the map, we came right to the spot I stood with my phone camera. That day, the light was radiant as I lined up the row of trees in this telephoto shot.

This was a mixed overcast day at Robinsons Island, not particularly becoming for photographs. Walking the Robinsons Trail Loop and reaching the shoreline at a point which looks toward North Rustico, I noticed flocks of geese moving across the sky in the distance. Fortunately, breaks in the cloud cover provided some sky drama and a nice contrast to the silhouetted birds.
