I watched the eclipse from my attic window, the tiny one in the dormer we call star-treck alley. The moon was more gold than silver, though, except when the clouds moved over it, like a veil.

Those pictures got me thinking about the moon, how it appears in poems. About Diana, Goddess of the Hunt. About Greece and England, and Queen Elizabeth I:

Queen, and huntress, chaste and fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair,
State in wonted manner keep :
    Hesperus entreats thy light,
    Goddess excellently bright.

Earth, let not thy envious shade
Dare itself to interpose ;
Cynthia's shining orb was made
Heaven to clear when day did close :
    Bless us then with wishèd sight,
    Goddess excellently bright.

Lay thy bow of pearl apart,
And thy crystal shining quiver ;
Give unto the flying hart
Space to breathe, how short soever :
    Thou that mak'st a day of night,
    Goddess excellently bright.

(Ben Jonson)

great photos: was that digital or old fashion film;

also the biomedical stuff, does she play around with skin tone images? wounds?

she has this one carnival image that is really cool: there was alot of motion captured in the image with light. lots of aplication in capturing motion with digital, but the lighting stuff is really tricky with the shutter speed.
