eclipse 04.08.24.13.53.24 Photograph - Limited Edition of 15

The full Moon is fascinating. There’s something unique and ethereal about it. On the right night, the full moon can produce enough light to make it feel like a photographic negative of the sun. In contrast to the infinite nature of the Sun, a full Moon is a rare event. There are a finite number of full moons in a human life. They can be counted. Don’t take them for granted. Try to grab a private moment outside to acknowledge each full moon no matter where you are, even if it’s just a 30 second gaze standing outside in snow. The lunar calendar guides and inspires my photography work. 95+% of my photos are taken of or during full moons. I’ve been creating these images for over 15 years. The abstract images I create are intentional. Photos of the full Moon are common, photos using the Moon as a medium to create other images are less so. I want the beauty of the image to be primary with the reveal that the Moon was the “brush” used to create it coming thru as the “WOW”.
