Since I’m preparing to work nights on an art installation in Central Park this coming fall (more on that later) I decided to get up early and watch the sunrise this morning.  I thought these shots a good contrast to the sunset shot of yesterday.

I’ve recently come to the realization of why I love photography.  First, it is simply the art of capturing what is there.  Point the camera, shoot, and the world takes care of the rest of it.  Secondly, photos are process of capturing that which is temporary.  The clouds, the colors, the Empire State Building, and especially the person holding the camera. All temporary.
