The calendar you've been waiting for
The wait is over. For nearly eight years, friends, family, and foes have asked when I’ll release a Year of the Sunrise wall calendar. Lets do it the most Bugsy way possible.
From the beginning, a project rule has been to never give one photo more prominence more than another. So how do I do do a 12-month calendar to represent 3,000 mornings? I have never wanted to do a best-of calendar, but what if I do a worst-of calendar?
This “Ugly” sunrise calendar gets to the heart of the project. It has always been about challenging the notion of what we see as sunrise, to rethink what makes a beautiful photograph, to embrace the harshest of weather conditions.
I have never adopted the idea that “every sunrise is unique and beautiful,” some sunrises are ugly, and that’s OK.
The message, through the darkest of mornings, is to still find hope and possibility in life.
The Ugly Sunrise Calendar offers a simple reminder, that even on the grayest of days, the sun still rises.
