For years I chased sunrises… and I love to be out there before the crack of dawn.
There’s nothing that compares to being surrounded by peace and quiet, watching the dawn of a new day. I haven’t found sunsets to be quite so peaceful, but they are absolutely magical in a different way. Sunsets are different in that tend to be shared with others, while sunrises I often find myself alone with my camera and coffee. And living on the East Coast, I have chased hundreds of more sunrises than sunsets.
