As photographers, we are selling captured light. We need light on our work to show it well. The new portable power packs, and old school work light reflectors, are giving us an easy solution. The Elite 100 v2 can drive our six lights for two days without a recharge.

Having a good looking display is something we struggle with. So this weekend when sensible people were relaxing, we were doing full setups and teardowns of our display. This is where we ended up, and so far I really like it.

Clay has been out in the field before sunrise the last couple of days. 4am is a magical hour. Everyone has gone to bed, the only people stirring are those who starting their day at a ridiculous hour. Both days, a small deer herd has been grazing in the field where he goes. They are unbothered: They know there's no hunt on, and it's a protected area.

The pond is full of night birds, calling out to their neighbors. And somewhere in the tall grass, just far enough away that he can't see the players, a sudden, violent drama plays out in the darkness. No eyes reflect in lights, no shadows move. Just a crashing in the bushes, and silence.

Customer delivery! Two photos delivered with our new frames. These are float mounts in oak frames. We'll be sharing more details in the coming week about these frames. We've dreamed about this mount with these photos for months, and we were delighted when a gallery show led to an order for these two images.

If you're subscribed to our newsletter, you've heard is banging on about offering framing services as "Coming Soon." This, folks, is framing actually here. These are corners for two frames for an order to be delivered Friday. We'll show progress photos throughout the week. These two photos will have a very special float mount that we think you'll like.

The Artemis II crew is returning from space today. We love the moon as well, and we want to share this, our newest photo, with you.

The style of photo is called a Mineral Moon. We took roughly a hundred photos, stacked them to reduce the noise, and enhanced the saturation to bring out the colors that are visible to the astronauts, but lost in the noise from Earth.

We worked for years to get enough image data to get this picture to you. The moon has distinct colors to it that we can’t see from Earth, and even robotic explorers have trouble seeing. The astronauts of Artemis II made observations of the colors of the surface and they noted these colors as well....
