one year of the sunset project

 from February 1, 2014 - January 31, 2015
i took a picture of the sunset every night
and posted them weekly here and on Flickr.
documenting the evening skies was great fun and a great challenge.
it became a habit
a nightly journal.
i will still look at a photograph
and remember the day and events i stepped away from.

i've been asked if i'm going to continue to photograph sunsets.
the answer, of course, is yes.
i'm sky and sunset crazy, and have been all my life. 
don't worry, i'll still post sunsets now that the project is over.

here are a few of my personal favorites
and a short film compilation of the images.
thank you for your interest in this project
your kind words on the weekly posts have been so encouraging.


A journal of the evening skies, February 1, 2014 - Jan 31, 2015.
Documenting the sunsets and texture of clouds many people miss was so rewarding. For one year, i paused conversations, stepped out of buildings or took a walk to take a picture of the western sky. I stood in open fields, roadsides, parking lots and my backyard. Sometimes it was cold or hot, cloudy or raining. Sometimes i got up from dinner or stepped out of work.
It was always rewarding, stepping away from life into the fresh air and open Kansas sky. I've learned to appreciate more the little blessings of life, and to slow down.
I'd like to thank various members of my family for coming along as company on many evening walks, bike rides and drives (and making sure we were out of walmart and back on the interstate to get a better picture) once in a while :).

Filming, editing and music by myself.

"They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs:
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy."
Psalm 65:58
