joshua tree national park
[05:58am]
we made it just as the first light of sunrise appeared over the horizon!
joy!
it looks and is the dawn of a new civilization
joshua tree national park
[05:24am]
trying to beat the sunrise and finish setting up the robot
cars can't drive into the national park at this spot so we had to hike and carry in the robot and equipment around 4:30am
*a note from the future:
it sure looks like the videos above were generated by ai and sora2
but two humans (me and the cinematographer ryan carmody) woke up at dawn and pushed through human will to capture the first light with human and ai
