Morning.

This morning was my favorite kind of morning. The sky was overcast, but the light from the rising sun was able to sneak under the cloud cover and reflect off the bottom of the clouds. This light colors the entire world in warm, yellow and reddish tones. This warm light doesn’t last long, eventually the sun is too high for its light sneak under the clouds.

These are the mornings I think, "There is a good chance the world is going to end today." I don't know why I have these thoughts, they have something to do with the warm tones of the light.

My FED rangefinder was sitting on the passenger seat of my car with half a roll of film, and I picked it up to take a couple pictures. I wanted to capture the light, but I couldn’t bring myself to snap any photos. Somehow I think that any photos, even if I could capture these tones, would diminish the experience.

The world may end today, but I am OK with that. Today will be a good day.
