Paperback. New Brunswicks Fundy Coast has always been a place of movement. The massive tides are so integral to the regions identity that their ebb and flow defines the character of the place. St. George has seen more than its fair share of the ebb and flow of people and prospects the typical story of incoming trade and riches, followed by dwindling opportunities. But interest has recently returned to St. George, drawn there by an appreciation for non-urban locales of stark natural beauty, affordability, and down-to-earth people. Photographer Susan Lapides has been visiting St. George for over twenty-five years. Her deep commitment to capturing the character of place is brilliantly matched by her innate sense of composition and colour. Her work testifies to the fact that the everyday can be mesmerizing if we are lucky enough to have the right interpreter behind the lens. In Lapidess photographs, the dusk cobalt blues of the ocean and sky become symphonic and a windswept cliff with a lighthouse, dog, lacrosse player, and tree appear as powerful and enigmatic as an Edward Hopper painting. La cote de Fundy a toujours ete un lieu de mouvements. Les marees dune amplitude hors du commun ont marque lidentite de cette region du Nouveau-Brunswick, dont le caractere sest forge au gre des vagues. Il y en a eu, des vagues, a St. George! De gens, de perspectives et de fortunes. Lhistoire typique dun essor commercial et de richesses qui abondent, puis declinent. Et voila que St. George suscite un regain dinteret notable, alimente par la beaute brute des environs de la ville, des prix abordables et le charme des gens sans pretention. Susan Lapides frequente St. George depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, appareil photo a loeil. Sa determination a saisir la personnalite du lieu na degal que son sens inne de la composition et de la couleur. Ses cliches prouvent que le quotidien peut etre fascinant, pour peu que linterprete derriere la lentille en soit parfaitement conscient. Le bleu cobalt de locean et du ciel au crepuscule a une nette tonalite symphonique. Le phare, le chien, le joueur de crosse et larbre qui animent une falaise balayee par le vent evoquent autant de presence et de mystere quun tableau dEdward Hopper.
