January is an odd time.  It signals new beginnings while also ending eras, decades, and periods.  It’s a time of being excited about what is to come, but also can be saddening to think of all the things that have passed.  Ironically, photographs are all things of the past, since you really have no clue what is coming next, not even the next hour.  It can be a time of anxiety, but thankfully not for long.

All long nights end, sunsets always come again, and the fun part is that you really have no clue what to expect – no matter what you may think.

When this photo above was taken somewhere in South Carolina, I had no idea I was even going to go out and see the sunrise that morning.  It was only a sudden decision after waking up in the middle of the night for some water.  Maybe this is what 2020 will be like.  Surprises, but good surprises.  Only time will tell.
