I’ve seen so many more surreal sunsets and sunrises than I’ve captured on camera. You think well that’s a no brainer but really it’s a big deal. For so many years I just plain didn’t observe the sky and fine light during those times of day…. for so many years before I became a photographer. And still, so many people don’t see this when it’s right in front of them.
For example I feel so lucky when I am driving into work on the freeway and the sky is filled with amazing colors and light. I just ignore all of the people riding my bumper and passing me like I’m standing still while I sip my coffee and try to take it all in. Maybe if they were able to see it too, then they would slow down and take it in also instead of being such hostile road warriors. Ironically I count so many cars and trucks that pass me and that I catch up to by the time I get into town. There they are sitting in a line of traffic just ahead of me by maybe 20 or 30 seconds.
