Failure & Creativity
Everything looked right. I had checked the weather - clear skies and cold. I had checked my Golden Hour app, and it was forecasting a 9/10 for the lighting. I was prepared. The alarm went off at 3am, and I rolled out of bed in the little cabin we were staying in just outside of Jackson, Wyoming. The night before, I had laid everything out and packed the gear I needed for the sunrise shoot and placed it all on the kitchen table. I quietly got ready, moving through the house as quietly as possible to not wake the family.
