I learned photography from my father. He detests sunset shots - cheap attention-grabbers, he says, easy to pull off, and generally cheesy. I agree, mostly, but sometimes you find yourself on your rooftop in Brooklyn on a summer evening and you happen to have a camera in your hand and the sun is setting and it looks kinda interesting and whaddaya gotta do?
