I love photographing the moon, but what started as a self-assigned project (to photograph every full moon for a year), now seems like an obligation; so I am giving up the imperative and will photograph the moon only when the conditions are right and I feel inspired. If it's raining and clouds obscure the sky, I will stay home and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. If it's a choice between the full moon and going out to dinner, I will choose dinner.
I came to this decision while viewing the photos of this month's full moon. Every one was ordinary and I realized I took them just because I felt I had to take something. The experience and the results were less than satisfying. Both of these were taken from the private road leading up El Toro. (It is still fun to trespass.) In this one, the lights on Dunne Avenue point directly to the moon.
