I wanted to shoot this for a long time. I finally got the time and sun lined up and made it happen one July morning.
The difference between night and morning on Broadway is striking. The peacefulness of the still street, hiding the debauchery of the night before, is amazing.
Also - my favorite ball of fire climbing above the tree line to look down the empty street.

After a little bit of a run in with a truck, I finally got to see it. The orange ball that I love so much climbed above the trees on the horizon and looked right down Broadway. Lighting the empty, partially wet street in beautiful, orange morning light.

The sky begins to come to life
It wasn’t the most beautiful sunrise. There were no layers of color. Just a muddy orange color.
But the neon lights kept humming. And standing in an almost still Broadway continued to be a strangely peaceful experience.

The moon was bright in the clear sky.
While the goal of the adventure was to capture the sun rising on Broadway, I kept getting distracted by the moon. It was a bright, nearly full moon that stood out against a clear, dark sky.
As it made its way toward the horizon, it crossed the radio tower that sits on top of Bridgestone Arena. I thought the features of the moon, set against the dark ask sky the crossing metal in the foreground was a beautiful photo.

The neon lights of Broadway shine bright while the streets are empty.
Broadway is an incredible place. Normally packed with people and music pouring out of every honkey tonk. It’s a very fun night out on the town.
But early in the morning before the sun comes up, it’s still and peaceful. The neon lights hum softly as a few employees finish cleaning and locking up for the night.

2018 was a great year. I got to travel across the country and around the world. Here’s my best shots smooshed together into one day.
Thank you to everyone who watched my videos this year. This will be the last video for 2018. I’m off to Tokyo and India. Be on the look out for more videos in the new year.

This was a very fun time-lapse to shoot. It started out pitch black, gave me beautiful colors, dancing fog and ended with cows. Can’t get much better than that.

Radnor Lake State Park
I ventured to Radnor Lake State Park in hopes of catching the last bits of fall. I liked this photo because the setting sun had started to dip below a near by hill, simultaneously bathing the trees in beautiful golden hour light and chilling shadow.

This isn’t the prettiest sunrise but there’s something about it that I really like. The muddy colors and the big orange ball of fire rising above the horizon is still so cool to me.

This shot is from the last scene. Again, the light is a little muddy. Not as clear as other sunrises, but I think it adds a uniqueness to this one. I still the way the light, just off to the right of frame, shines on the buildings.
