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

Day one, mistake one. Let the lens get fogged up almost immediately.

…

For the next six months the sun will rise roughly forty seconds earlier each day. A few questions come to mind. Can I become a morning person by training myself to wake up, thirty minutes before sunrise and forty seconds earlier each day for the next six months? Can I reduce my anxiety and stress by doing so? Can I decrease my distractions and become a little more grounded in that time?

Never have I intentionally sought the sunrise and felt like my day didn’t begin with an accomplishment.

Finally, I wonder, just how transformational can it be to intentionally watching one sunrise a year, to watching 365? It’s not impossible, and it feels as though it could change everything.

Daily Fruit dated January 2

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.

I'm doubtful that people would say the same.

Chicken garlic pizza. adults only. tour. clue. chances.

Giggling blasphemy.
2006
All the familiarities without the stirring.
2007
A big bridge, a bigger dam, and a whole lot of lights, a day without story, but with lots of visual evidence.
2009
Guns reduce the population, sperm increases it, hence sperm trumps guns.
Pretty sure that my hometown invasion tour hangover has lasted this long, and hoping that it's over.
Just because i don't have a problem with it doesn't mean it's not annoying, it just means that the value at the other side is completely worth the time.
2010
If people had digg buttons on their foreheads, i would totally digg you.
I commit to where my productivity leads me, not where my productivity needs me, this is how i thrive, this is how i make what i do happen, and if it means my best idea comes to me in the middle of the night i need to get up and do it.
