To the moon, Alice!


It is breathtaking when one stops to consider the solar system: planets, stars, moon and sun. How very far away and how startlingly close it can feel all in the same moment. The absolute immensity of space is both wondrous and terrifying; the fact that one star burning billions of miles away can hold such importance for the survival of earth, for the survival of me, and I never fail to thrill to the sight of a full moon set to the backdrop of a dark and starry sky.

Although I released this photograph several weeks ago, the recent death of Neil Armstrong, the first man to ever "moon walk" inspired me to post this blog in his honor.


Here's to you, Neil! May you forever continue to push boundaries and break amazing barriers.
