A coffee table book & a limited-edition print
A coffee table book and a museum-quality framed print, built from one year of sunrises over the same stretch of shoreline, paired with words from icons like Muhammad Ali and Eleanor Roosevelt, and everyday people who happened to be watching the same sky.
Every photograph in this collection was taken from the same spot, week after week, for a year. The sky was never the same shade twice.
What started as one photographer's personal ritual is now a coffee table book and a limited-edition framed print, praised by bestselling authors, professional athletes, and a NASA astronaut for capturing something simple: however things look right now, the sun always comes back up.

Flip through it like a small daily practice: one image, one quote, repeat. Each photograph is paired with words from icons like Muhammad Ali, Abraham Lincoln, and Eleanor Roosevelt, alongside everyday people, athletes, and musicians who happened to be watching the same sky. It isn't decoration; it's a daily reset you can leave open on the counter. Bestselling authors, professional athletes, and a NASA astronaut have all praised the collection, which once outranked Joel Osteen and Chicken Soup for the Soul in Amazon's Personal Transformation New Releases.
“Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning.” A page from the book, quoting Muhammad Ali

Limited edition
A striking twelve-panel compilation capturing one year of sunrises over the same stretch of shoreline: the same lifeguard chair, the same horizon, never the same sky twice. Look closely and you'll notice the sun creep to a new point on the horizon each week, the tide quietly reshape the same stretch of sand, and the reflection on the water shift with the seasons. Small proof of how connected it all really is. Museum-quality framed print, made for the wall you look at first thing every morning. A meaningful gift for anyone who could use a daily reminder that tomorrow tends to look different.
“This was an easy choice for the jurors. We found the concept fascinating and the final collection of images was clearly executed and edited with precision … your image reminds us that no matter what, the earth still spins and time passes.” IMAGES Awards jury
Juried by a panel including the former Senior Sports Photo Editor of The New York Times and Director of Photography for Sports Illustrated, the current VP of Photography for WWE, and award-winning fine art photographer Isabel Chenoweth.

Tim Keane has spent most of his career on the fast, high-stakes side of finance and technology. He's held leadership roles at early-stage startups, currently leads client success for a global financial technology company, and advises founders through a regional entrepreneur community. None of that is really the point of this book.
What matters more: years ago, after a loss that reshaped how he saw everything, Tim started showing up to the same stretch of shoreline before sunrise, sometimes with a cold brew, sometimes with a paddleboard. What began as a way to survive the mornings turned into a genuine curiosity: how elite performers, in sports and business and history, actually handle pressure. He took coursework at MIT Sloan on the neuroscience of human performance to understand it properly, and every so often he still finds himself pulling those threads together.
He and his wife also built a nationally recognized program at Yale New Haven Health, helping families and physicians navigate stillbirth and newborn loss, the same experience that started all of this. A large portion of proceeds from Sunrises in Motion supports that fund.
Tim lives in Connecticut with his wife and children.
