Photographing 52 weeks of sunrises from a single location was a personal challenge. Started in October 2018, it was completed in September 2020—a year marked by chaos and uncertainty.
One silent lockdown morning was a stark reminder of how chaotic life had become. Yet, standing on the ledge, I found comfort in knowing the sun would rise, bringing warmth and light. Capturing the moment brought hope — and if nature’s therapy couldn’t be bottle nature’s therapy then it should be shared.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and words can paint a picture. RISE merges these art forms, offering a powerful reminder of the world’s simple beauty.
You don’t need to love poetry or photography to enjoy this book—it’s a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates beauty and inspiration.
