Camera Obscura: 5:04 AM Sunrise Over the Atlantic Ocean. Rockport, Massachusetts, June 17th, 2009

I love this photograph on so many levels. In some ways it represents a mental space that I'm trying to get to, but haven't yet reached. In other ways it fully represents the attempt: the closed door, the empty room, the being stuck but able to see where you want to be, which is in the calm and mystery of the sunrise and the ocean beyond. It's the duality of the interior, and exterior made interior, that feels to me like an internal state made manifest.
