My dog woke me at 4:30 AM as if she knew that I wanted to head out to the levee to try to see the partial lunar eclipse. I took her out into our backyard and saw a light in the sky and knew I had to make it. By the time I arrived, the light was just a smear and disappeared because of the clouds. I set up anyway hoping for a brief peek out and waited. Luckily, the moon found a clearing, and in the hazy, humid air I got to see it with Earth's shadow. There was a soft glow to it, and when looking back at the image, I get a sense of the feeling it carried.
Appreciating what I see today while digging deep into the archives to locate my earliest photography.
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.
