Day 32 • The 29th of July

🌄 Day 32/365

Good morning! Another beautiful purple gradient made itself the star today. It’s just a bit further along in the brightening process.

I think it’s important to note that A New Dawn, my year-long sunrise project, is not in itself a particularly original idea. Lots of people are taking sunrise photos in succession, sometimes as a yearly project exactly as I am doing, other times as their completely separate pursuit. One guy I found is on sunrise 1300something. Yowza. I will most certainly not be doing that.

The creativity and originality of this project is new to me — based on my life, my habits, my location, my own life lessons, and my own reflections. That is the art, I imagine for all of the sunrise photographers out there. The sun rises over all of us, all over the world. Spreading the idea of a new, bright phase in society after what we’ve been witnessing these last few years is balm for the soul. It should be available to everyone.

This moment was captured in Kihei, Maui at 5:59am on the 29th of July 2022.
