Don’t worry Midtown, I didn’t forget about you. It was a completely clear, cloudless morning, and the best colors were seen very early when the sky was still mostly dark and a lot of the lights were still on in the city.
Friday, April 10, 2015 (Day 100)
Today was the 100th day in a row that I’ve photographed the sunrise!! What an amazing feeling.
Ironically, there was no sun in sight on this rainy morning. But perhaps it was a fitting scene to celebrate the milestone because it represents the challenges I’ve faced over the past 100 days. I’ve battled external obstacles such as rain, snow, and bitter cold, as well as internal challenges such as fatigue, discouragement, doubt, and lack of motivation. And I have prevailed.
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting my mission, and I look forward to what’s to come.
Saturday, April 4, 2015 (Day 94)
Today was one of the most bizarre mornings I’ve ever seen. A recent thunderstorm left behind multiple layers of swirling, fast-moving clouds. The lowest clouds were moving very fast and glowed pink. The upper layer of clouds glowed blue. Sometimes the edges of on of the lower clouds would light up in a bright blue color, as if someone were shining a spotlight on it. I felt like I was looking at our own version of the northern lights. It was rather eerie at times, as if it were a scene from the movie Independence Day, and it seemed like something biblical could happen at any moment.
Tuesday, March 31, 2015 (Day 90)
Today is a big milestone as it is day 90 of this project. The past 90 days have been incredible, and I’m feeling a great sense of accomplishment that I actually have been rising before dawn and photographing the sunrise every morning. I look through the photos I’ve taken so far, and I can distinctly remember every single morning. I remember taking each shot, I remember my thought process and what I was feeling at the time.

Going out in the rain can be an invigorating way to start the day.
It allows me to see things I normally wouldn’t see, like the reflection on this basketball court surface which makes it look like a sheet of glass.
I also made a black and white version of this image, but I prefer the subtle tones of original color version here.
