Morning is my favorite part of the day. Each morning, while making my coffee, I have the sense of being at the start of something big - a new day in which I'll start fresh on the rest of my life. I like mornings to be quiet, unhurried, and spent alone with just my thoughts for company.
Sometimes I get up before sunrise and take my cameras to the beach to photograph the ocean and the creatures living on its shore. On lucky days the sun and clouds collaborate to make vivid light shows with quickly shifting hues of orange, red and pink painting the sky above the water.
When I'm out there taking pictures I don't feel "connected" to that world on the beach; I feel like a visitor in danger of overstaying his invitation, but wanting to stay just a little while longer.
