1,619 sunrises have been published, ██% of the project.

Today is sunrise no.

I have published 4.4 years of daily surnrises, currently I am ██ years behind on editing.


I am publishing sunrises faster than I'm watching them. This is great news! You can help speed up the process by choosing which sunrise to publish next. It takes roughly 30-60 minutes of editing and website work to publish each sunrise, meaning I have upwards of 551 hours of work ahead of me.

I would love your support in cataloging the entirety of this project.

Here is some additional context...

I've calculated that I take about 31 exposures each sunrise, that means I've taken approximately 73,408 exposures since the beginning of this project. I estimate that I delete about about 25% of my original photos, leaving me with a photo library of 55,056 photos. That leaves me with about 23 photos per sunrise. From there, I narrow it to an average of 4 outtakes per sunrise, of which I choose a single photo to be the select photo for the given sunrise.

... all said and done, the published photos you see here, represent about 3.2% of the photography journey.


May report card

There are a lot of facets of this project, with a massive amount of work growing daily. While inspired in one area, another often has to take the back seat. Or while struggling in one area, I’m often thriving in another. Here’s a look at where my energy has been lately.


Thank you publishers:
