Night Moves

The animated evening sky is the subject of this series photographed on Louisiana’s Lake Pontchartrain estuary. What appears calm and still nevertheless flickers with differing sources of light, creating a contemplative vibe. Like a plank to the moon, the fishing pier transports meditation through mystery. The process of making this photographic series created from 2017-2023, makes me feel grateful to share as witness.
