A way of being present.
Even when seemingly not, otherwise.
People tend to believe the best photographic light occurs during ‘the Magic Hour’.
That’s the half hour prior to sunrise and the half hour after
sunset. So not really an hour, unless you count them together at the end a long day. Beware
conventional wisdom.
Because in this case that’s just universality talking. Which explains the ocean
of glorious sunrise/sunset moments captured and held forever on all your phones.
As happens, on the occasion the world falls utterly still in
the face of an oncoming storm, life draws a deep breath and sometimes holds it. However
long.
And in that moment, light might be made uncommonly sublime.
