July Photo Box
This photo box comes complete with an entire set of 5x7 prints featuring all 31 sunrises of July. The photos are presented in a wooden box which comes with a display stand to swap out photos. Each photo has a set of data on the back with that sunrise's date and location. See more details.

July Musings
July is a complete month, the most complete month of 2019. I sit hear feeling incredibly fulfilled. This project has been incredible, and I’m becoming a little more critical of the photos as I try to find more variety and new locations. But this project actually has so little to do with the photos. The photos are simply the tangible evidence that I did this each morning.
Part of the project is about getting outside, working on commitments, taking on a new creative pursuit, getting back to writing and photography, and blah blah blah. Those are the things I’m setting out to do, but what’s happening is a different story.
So what is really happening? Creating an environment and lifestyle to allow for growth, experiences, precense, and openess to whatever life presents. I don’t know if this month would have happened without this project, and what’s happened this month has nothing to do with sunrises.
- [Redacted]ming
- Bea (this has its own bullet list, multiple bullet lists)
- Stone skipping on ESPN
- Do the [redacted]
- NPR interview
- Joe P
- New best month at the shop
- Experiencing profound sadness (and making it healthy)
- High quality family memories
Each one of these bullet points is full of multiople stories and experiences and learning moments.
August, I dare you to beat this.
Looking back on July, I’m really proud of this set of photos, and a deep collection of outtakes this month, with lots of variety.
I’ve been taking notes on larger themes that are developing during this project. One is having a relationship with Lake Superior, and sleep for that matter. Another is the cliche of sunrise and sunset photography. And yet another is beginning your day with nature.
However, a new theme is forming. An unexpected theme. I don’t know what or where it will go, but it is exciting. And that theme is [redacted].
