New Photograph October 2024
Sun Portrait. Pacifica, CA 2024.
Despite my general aversion to sunset pictures, as they always seem less than these experience. My regular visits to our cliffside to watch our star sinking into sea, I’ve clearly started a series of Solar Portraits that attempt to fold sun, clouds, sea and horizon all together into the devolving sun transforming and warping through the atmosphere. This mostly changes the sunset equation for me, making it even more about moment, light, wonder and magic. I remain concerned about the repetitiveness of “sunsets” but find my fascination and the occasional absolute wonder of it all seems to override those concerns.
