Emigrant Dawn
Emigrant Peak, Squaw Valley Ski Resort, California
On assignment for Warren Miller
Camera: Nikon D700
What makes it special: Every breath is a reminder of what it feels like to be alive, witnessing the beginning of each new day.
The story: "Experiencing the first rays of sunlight from a mountaintop is incredibly immediate. Perhaps it's the physical energy and time invested to be there in that moment. Our senses take it all in as if it's our very first dawn. No two sunrises are alike.
Feel the aurora at the first blush of light from the top of Emigrant Peak at Squaw Valley. The windswept texture of snow and sky meet as panorama and wide angle warp the vast depth of field beyond dreams."
