The Future

The Story: I was up in Bedford at an ungodly early hour shooting the sunrise at a horse farm. The sun had not yet risen but I noticed these four young men sitting on a wall. I commented that they were up early and they said that they never went to sleep. All four just graduated high school and had plans to go to college, one more presitgious than the next. After taking shots for another half hour and with the sun rising, I drove back to where they were sitting and asked them to be in my next photo. I loved the idea of these four friends with bright futures ahead of them staring at this spectacular sunrise looking to the new day and their own futures with great hope and optimism.
