365 Sunsets Project Reborn

On June 25, 2007 I started a photo project entitled 365 Sunsets Project. In a way it was a delayed reaction to my grief over losing my grandmother a few years before. At it’s inception the project was meant to document the passing of time. As time went on I fell in love with taking photos and it became as much an art project as it was a documentation of time. I quickly found out that a project that is dependent upon the weather cannot actually be a 365 project but if there was a sunset to be seen I ran out in all sorts of weather to take a daily photo.

When the first year ended I made a half hearted attempt to continue for a second year but fizzled out. Since I’ve been sick time is once again important to me as is the opportunity to express myself creatively. Since I’ve been home from the hospital I’ve taken a few sunset photos with both my camera and my iPhone. I’m really impressed with some of the photos the iPhone has produced, in particular the December 5 photo from Duffield’s Farm.

I don’t know if this will be the daily endeavor it once was but I’m again feeling invigorated and passionate about taking photos and am enjoying the purpose it’s providing for me during my recovery.

Love,
