13. I Feel Bad for You, Sun

You've got to love someone who can make a point about being actively present in the moment at the same time as dropping a Jay-Z reference. Well done, Gerhard Haderer. The people in this picture might have ninety-nine problems, but getting a photo of the setting sun isn't one.

Watching a sunset is as much about how it feels as about how it looks. There is poetry and emotion in the dying of the day. For some, it's a quiet time of reflection. Others find it romantic. Either way, it's something you participate in to feel, not to record. Whatever photo or video you take isn't going to replicate the feel of it on your skin, or the full beauty of it in your eyes. Sometimes it's good to remember that you're not making a documentary and put the camera down. Unless you actually are making a documentary, in which case, carry on.
