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

“You’re ruining Marquette,” they say.

Ok, only a few people say that, and only a few of those people really mean it. I shared the Ore Dock sunrise post two days ago, and this morning, despite being a blustery cold morning, there were 27 cars and about 40 people at the Ore Dock hoping to see the sunrise. Inspiring people to get outside on during a blizzard is a darn good thing. It used to be something I wanted to keep a secret to myself, but joyful moments are best shared. I think I’ll bring a bunch of extra coffees and hot chocolates tomorrow.

Daily Fruit dated January 20

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.

Early morning...it doesn't take long to touch.

And one giant hiccup for mankind.

Bugsy crocker.
It doesn't matter, but neither does how many toes you have, so it's not going to stop me from asking.
2006
Revelation after revelation, revolution after revolution, but what about resolution.
2007
It's the word i'm thinking of but i can't think of.

Speechless with the perfect mixture of inspiration and hope.

Trying to do it energizer bunny style.
2011
I want awesome.

The winners circle.

I am a steroid.

I guarantee you that nothing works one hundred percent of the time.

More carpe than your average citizen.
