Description
No good photograph was ever made in comfort. We awoke on a mid-January morning to photograph the full moon setting over the Sierra Nevada range. This being Bishop, it was cold. Freezing cold, and the trail to Farmers Pond was barely illuminated by our headlamps. The moment we arrived -- when I saw the moon, the ice, and the trees -- it was clear that my first photo would require me to lay down in the frosty shoreline. Tripod legs splayed, I inched across the mud, trying to balance the composition while keeping the non-stationary moon in the crook of the tree branch. I've forgotten the discomfort, and the image remains.
