"What photography is, is life lit up" - Sam Abell.
How do we do it? (We're often asked!) No problem. Gear packed the night before, travel mugs on the bench ready with tea bags, layer upon layer of clothes ready to climb into. (It's still a bit brisk in the mornings). Swimming gear in case we're inspired to take a (bracing!) dip. Actually, it's much like getting the family to squad training, minus post-training breakfast of Weetbix, bananas and the litre of milk. Oh and with the added excitement of missing a crucial turn-off and turning the last part of the drive into a race to the chosen location to beat the sunrise. Sometimes words might be said. Fortunately watching sunrises improves moods and reduce stress, so generally all is forgiven when Sol is properly up and it's coffee and egg-and-bacon roll time. (This may be what's impacting the weight loss - or lack thereof!).
He’s chased many sunrises, not just as a photographer, but as a swimming parent, and swimming coach (occasionally even a swimmer himself), not to mention all the 0.Dark.Hundred shifts on school camps. And road trips. Did I mention many, many sunrises on road trips? Every one a new challenge. Speaking of challenges, check out the black and white image in the slideshow below. It was a bit of a cloudy sunrise at Bilgola yesterday. Sometimes even the sunrise looks better in black and white! It's a little late, (hey, I got up early yesterday!) but my thought for this Fathers Day was that 'father' is not just a noun, but a verb. A doing word, as the school kidlets say. Let's continue to celebrate and appreciate all those doing it. Sydney ocean pools preview
