Save Your Fave

You can as many photos as you'd like, but you can only a single photo within each month, choose wisely.

Purchasing Options

First Edition prints from January are currently being reserved for Art Week in Marquette, where we'll be having a small gallery event at the U.P. Supply Co. headquarters. Come on by.

You may still purchase a January photo box which comes with one 5x7 print for each sunrise that month, or purchase a 5x7 Collector's Edition. See more details.

Shipping will begin the first week of July.

Fuel the Sunrises

Looking for more ways to support this crazy project? You can always add a cup of coffee to keep me going strong in the mornings, or a tank of gas to get me to some new places.

Every once in a great while I send out a newsletter with sunrise updates, life stories, project developments, and various shenanigans. I'd love to share these with you and will respect your inbox.

Blah Blah Blah

For additional sunrise photos follow both @BugsySailor and @UPSupplyCo on Instagram. I don't post daily, but you will see additional content unvailable here.

Musings

This morning, I hope you’re somewhere out here on these beaches. Maybe you went to the north end while I went to the south, or maybe you went to the island when I went to the cove. But I like the idea that you’re out here too, feeling the same temperature, the same moisture in the air, the same subtle breeze.

Daily Fruit dated January 14

Daily Fruit was a daily journal I kept from October 2001 through July 2015. The idea was "a few words a day keeps the psychiatrist away". Not sure that worked, but it was an incredibly healthy practice. They are meant to be read for face value.

There's a certain fascination that always takes place. but it doesn't necessarily have meaning. not everything has a meaning. people are always looking into art with meaning. well guess what? ...there is mayonnaise in the fridge. it is what you make of it, not what they wrote. you're the one writing your life, not others.

Liveth the rock until the day i die.
That's how we like it and that's why.
Time in time and oooh la la.

Hotter than an igloo but cooler than a teepee.

Excuse me ma'am, where can i find the books for fame 101.
My head will explode from lack of thoughts, not from too many thoughts, the only thing i get from too many thoughts is loss of productivity.

One day at a time just ilke everybody else.

Could have been a statistician, or at least a social researcher.

Size may not matter, but packages certainly do.
2015
Perhaps sunrises and sunsets were created for generate spontaneity, so that when this beautiful thing is happening it forces you to get up from your routine and take a break.
