June

June Highlights

• 30 consecutive sunrises before 6:00AM
• Alas, Summer Soltice arrived
• I’ve never seen a day at Black Rocks like this
• Lots of tripod shots, and lots of shots just before the sun broke the horizon
• Lots and lots of beach grass photos, I could photograph beach grass for an eternity

June Musings

June is a month of milestones for this particular project. In January, when I set out on this idea, it seemed so daunting to get to June. I’m not a morning person, and the idea of gradually getting up earlier and earlier every day for 6 months without a break until the earliest sunrise at 5:55AM seemed nearly impossible. It sounded ridiculous. Six months later, it’s just a part of my daily routine and I wonder why nobdoy else has done this darn project before me. I mean really, there are so many very talented people that could offer so much more to this project, from design, to photography, to writing, to delivery, and variety of locations. But for whatever reason, it’s just me.

Now, I’m past the earliest sunrise of the year and I have copmleted the first six months. My fear is that this is where I becme complacent. The challenge and most difficult part is behind me, and that’s where I tend to get a little bored, which was the theme of a few journal entries this month. Other themes included a lot of matters of the heart, the imposter syndrome, and fighting to find an oirignal approach.

Here’s to the next six months.
