Timeline Photos: Painting with the moonlight...

Welcome to Timeline Photos. A few years back I started peeking around my archives in search of some of the first photographs I had taken. Here records my quest into better understanding my long term love of camera and experiencing the world with it in hand. All photos appear in chronological order hopefully revealing an evolution of how I see and what moves me to speak with light.

Painting with the moonlight...

While out walking and observing my shaky images of the full moon, I decided to move my camera intentionally to create an image. After many attempts and tries at home, I'm happy to share my heart created with moonlight. I moved my camera with an open aperture to make the heart. Not easy at all.

My other attempts. Here are 6 frames collaged. You can see that it took time to learn how to keep the moon light in the camera frame. The smallest movements of the camera, in the inverse direction, created the heart shape.
