Early Light | Mark E. Johnson [ • ] Photojournalist

Camden, South Carolina

Before we wrapped the first day of the University of South Carolina’s workshop, we let the students know when sunrise was going to hit the Carolina Cup grounds – and that two of us would be there before that happened.

One student joined us, a few others trickled in shortly after. What a sight … that early golden sun just poured into the stable area and then an honest-to-goodness modern cowboy walked into the light.

The rest of the day was going to be hard pressed to beat those fleeting rays.
