Idea cascades.

The Acorn season is here.  The white spots in the caps on the acorn ends remind me of shining full Moons.  The spots start fading after an hour or so, ending up brown and nondescript.  I've always love the full moon and the idea of a celestial clock running.  We'd driven up to see the total eclipse and gone to star parties to see the planets and galaxies.  I'd been thinking a little more "celestially."  A tornado out of moons is in the show at The Grace in Abilene right now.  Floated moons on faces and in shadows of landscapes...   

I've never printed this image large, but like it.

Stacked Acorns, 2016.

This year, I was careful in my selections and sequencing.  And use the title to re-inforce my idea.

13 Moons, 2018

As soon as I shot it I had another idea.  Cost a few sheets of film.  No proofs yet.  Fairly complex exposure sequence, most of which I worked out shooting tornadoes.

Negatives for variations of 13 Moons.

Yesterday when Cindy and I were walking the dogs I spotted a neighbors late roses and had an idea, related to a previous idea of a feathered leaf.  This morning I went and, (snip), stole a rose.

Feathered Rose.

Now I'm out of film. While processing I had two more ideas involving feathers, for one and acorns for another. I built out the acorn photo.  It's sitting in front of the camera under the feathered rose. Ordered film and drew thumbnails.  Going to catch up on processing.
