Rite of Dawn

"Rite of Dawn" captures the first light of January 1, 2024, overlooking South Lake Tahoe. A ritual of renewal, this photograph was taken on a mountain top with two close companions, honoring the tradition of witnessing the year’s first sunrise. The stillness of winter air, the glow of new beginnings, and the intimacy of shared presence make this piece both personal and universal—a meditation on time, memory, and hope. Printed on museum-quality archival paper, "Rite of Dawn" is available in multiple sizes and perfect for collectors, travelers, nature and art lovers alike.
