The artist wrote, “I have a special fondness for early morning light. Generally, there is water vapor in the air not yet burned off, and the sun is still low enough to produce long, interesting shadows. A facade of buildings at a glancing angle to the sun presents a staccato effect of shapes and accents. I like to play with a picture like this, putting everything in its place to achieve an atmospheric perspective bathed in cool, early morning sunlight.”
