Sun Going Down archival pigment print by Fred Gerendasy Photography – vivid sunset capturing the transition from day to dusk with golden light

Sun Going Down

$80 – $300

There’s both a beauty and a sadness watching the sun going down. The last brilliant rays of light —hope— before descending into darkness. An appreciation for the day and all its splendor. And yet— the ying and the yang— without darkness, there would not be light. For that small lingering of regret toward the day being soon over, there’s the promise of a new beginning, a bright tomorrow. The bittersweet recognition that comes with time.

Description

Beyond the technical aspects of photography, the subject, the composition, the expression of light: it’s the emotion that’s conveyed in an image which matters most. Emotion is life. It’s feeling, expression. It’s the soul, for me, the whole enchilada in this image and in others.
