Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Shane Hawk Captures Powerful Images at Sunrise and Sunset

Of course, these times are referred to as the 'golden hour' by photographers for good reason and Shane Hawk appears to be in total agreement.

With a specific focus on land, water and sky shots (simultaneously, of course), Shane Hawk is able to shoot scenes that border on the surreal. Based in San Diego, California, he is surrounded by these particular scenes. He also has a positive outlook on life that feeds his direction. He writes, "One day I hope to work for a company whose goal is to make the world better—not just make profit."
