This photo is a long exposure taken during a ritualistic waking up at 4 am to go watch the sunrise with two of my best friends. We would wander the city and beaches looking for photos or adventures to go on. It holds a special place in my heart because during these moments I was able to put all of the problems I had in my life behind and channel the pain I was feeling into something beautiful. Every click of the shutter was an opportunity to make something positive out of the situation i was in, this photograph is a direct representation of that in the sense that I was dealing with opium addiction at the time and wanted to turn all of the darkness I was feeling into something bright and beautiful. I had all my friends pile behind the RV with every light source they had to simulate the glow coming from the windows.
