As a tribute to participating in my own Earth Hour here in Toronto, I posted this simple photograph of red wine poured into a wineglass. While practicing with an off-shoe remote flash, I took this simple composition using only one flash positioned behind the glass.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
