Moon, Low Branch
Fort Collins, Colorado, 2015

Want to know the backstory behind this image?

It was 4 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon.  I was in my day job office getting caught up on some day job work.  I looked out the window, and happened to notice a nearly full moon rising perfectly behind some trees on the lawn of a government building across the street.  So, I went home to grab my camera (only a ten minute round trip, fortunately), spent about 45 minutes making the captures that ultimately resulted in this image, and returned to work to finish my tasks.

Lessons learned:

1.  Always be observant of what’s going on in your surroundings.

2.  Always have the tools of your trade at your disposal.

3.  Always be willing to invest the time it takes to capture the moment.

There’s beauty in the world, everywhere, all the time, if you’re open to seeing it.
