Moonrise over Rio Grande Cliffs, Caballo Lake State Park, NM, May 4, 2012
Practice, practice
This was taken the night of May 4, 2012, the night before the big moonrise of the year everyone was so eager to capture. Back on my post after that big night I indicated I hoped I got a few interesting shots of the moonrise and I'd like to think I did. Tomorrow I'll start posting a short series of my favorites here as I wander eastward toward Red Rock.

We Are Clearly a Species Worth Saving
Our world is entering a time of profound and perhaps catastrophic change. My hope is that by getting people to care about and learn about what is in their backyard, they can be made to realize that while it seems like we are destroying the planet in out greed and excess, what we are really destroying is ourselves. The planet and life in general has dealt with catastrophe many times before. Cataclysm on Earth is a creative time and evolution can handle it. Culture is much more fragile and we as individuals are more fragile still. I think that it is time for people to come to terms with the fact that our own behaviors put humanity at risk. While people have always done atrocious things, I believe that we are a species capable of beautiful, amazing and important things as well and we are clearly a species worth saving.
