That Good ol' Sunset

May 02, 2015 in Digital, Nature

I'm not immune to a pretty sunset. I don't think anyone is. Whether or not you are a photographer, a poet, a painter, or a musician, sunsets will always get a hole of you and give you that rush to create something. It's just something about the way the heavens change color and meld to the ground below that catches your eye and makes you want to capture it for some future moment. 

This was photographed just north of Portland during a windy evening. The perfect end to a hectic day when nothing in the world could go wrong and the sun lingered along the horizon for a few seconds just for me.

I'm waiting for the beep of the coffee maker at the moment, i.e. that glorious sound telling me my morning coffee is all ready to be poured in a mug and consumed before the sun comes up. Glory days I tell you, glory days...

Enjoying the nice natural light going on with this image. Not too bright and harsh, but pronounced enough to bring out the details and shapes in the frame on black and white film.

Walking around downtown Chicago in the sweltering heat. I'm really not used to the humidity during mid-west summers!

It was hot as blazes out when this image was taken and the shade and shadows of the forest were a incredible relief. 

Sometimes working in a thick patch of trees like this can be a real challenge during the summer because the light can be patchy and
One of those places I like to go pray to the Gods.

Walking through my neighborhood and admiring all the different trees and plants. I feel like I see something new every single time I take a journey to the park.

I need to make more Lumen Prints, especially now that it is summer and the foliage around here is getting brittle and falling to the ground.

Appreciating the wonderful spaces I have easy access to. Every so often I'm reminded just how much that isn't the case everywhere you go.

I feel like I was disconnected from the world for a little bit. Did I miss anything? Not really it seems. Which I suppose isn't so terrible.

Enjoying the little dance with light one can only get when using a giant flood lamp in the middle of winter.

I really can't imagine two images that personify a good chunk of my life these days. Roaming about the mid-west, chasing the clouds, and listening to the wind.

Road adventures around Mt. Shasta. I was pulled over to the side of the road to just soak in the view for a few minutes and stretch my legs.

This is one of those images that should not have worked. It was incredibly hot out, and the light was far too harsh for my liking, but somehow we found a great little spot with some open shade and just a tiny little breeze.
