Moon Moments

348 Moon over Scottsdale, Arizona, Nikon D-80, Night Setting, 10-07-09

Part of the blessing about this blog and picture taking everyday is the undeniable gift of looking for the "moments". What to write about and what to take a picture of creates a world of seeing everything brand new.

For anyone who may read this, I highly recommend adding this newly acquired skill as it honestly is life changing! Alright, alright...enough dispensing with the "you should do this" instructions and moving onto the photo. This is first ever attempt at trying to capture evening and sky/moon picture. It's wildly obvious to me that I need to A) start carrying a tripod and B) work at this talent. But, I posted this because I wanted evidence of a beginning in this process. Throughout the year, I will attempt more shots and by this time next year, I hope to capture the perfect moon shot. Why?

Because great things happen under the moon and in the night. There is a stillness in the air, a calming to the light illumination and there is a sense of freeness that allows people to open themselves, be vulnerable and 'skinny dip' in the moonlight. Loving the moon moments.
