Setting On Serenity

As I was shooting this sunset, the phone in my pocket was buzzing with alert after alert. Undeterred from my work, I continued to shoot. It was after the sun had set that I learned of the cowardice and carnage that was taking place in Paris. My visual experience turned to one of symbolism. I realized that the sun was setting on a given way of life. When the sun again rose, it would be shining a little less brightly, illuminating a world made darker by extremism and evil.
