Hawk & Kiara
Kiara
Hey Hawk, I’ve been jotting down sunrise hues in my journal every morning—do you have a routine for when you catch the perfect light, or do you just wait for the right moment to appear?

I start early, set up my tripod and let the sky do the rest. If the light isn’t sharp enough I wait an hour or two, maybe even a full sunrise cycle. The right moment doesn’t just drop in—there’s a rhythm to it, and I follow that rhythm.
Kiara
Sounds like you’ve got a solid rhythm, but hey, are you checking your posture while you’re waiting for the light? I always remind myself to keep my shoulders back and feet planted. And if you’re waiting a full sunrise, that’s a perfect time to jot down a mantra—just make sure you don’t lose it in your pocket!
Hawk
Sure thing. I keep my shoulders back and feet steady—no chance of losing balance when the light hits just right. As for a mantra, I prefer to think in scenes, but if I jot one down, I’ll keep it in a tiny, waterproof note instead of my pocket.
