Waiting for the perfect shot on a cold winter morning — that's what we call dedication.

Photographer Jack Booth caught the 1902 cast-iron Tugboat Jupiter at sunrise as it bobbed in the Delaware River across from Pier 3 Condominiums. He says the photo was taken at about 7:15 a.m. on Jan. 30 at the base of the steps leading up to the Penn's Landing overpass. Timing is crucial for a sunrise shot at this spot: The sun pops up abruptly from the opposite bank, and for the first few minutes the light is too cold and blue. Then, for only a minute or tow, the pier glows in the sun.
