Honestly, I can hardly believe this photograph turned out so well. It is magic. Rob and I had been hunting all day and when we arrived back at camp, I looked out at the moonrise and the delicate palate of the sunset in the sky and I had a vision. I set up my camera and remote and literally galloped out across the sand dunes to get this photograph.
The moon. My friend. I have no reason to fear the dark.
We have been in New Mexico for nearly two weeks, hunting quail and being a family and camping and living rough and working our beautiful, steadfast dogs in incredible country. It is the joy of my heart to be here. The joy of my heart. I think it’s because it is the joy of my heart, truly, that I was able to make a photograph like this (and many more that I look forward to sharing with you). I believe in creating from the light, from joy, from emotions that are rooted in beauty. It is from those places I experience a true welling up of originality.
More soon.

PS

My first thought when I saw this photo was that it reminded of Le Petit Prince. Fantastic shot, I love love love your photography.
Gorgeous picture and I so understand about the first hot shower…it is magical when that happens after some days without. Looking forward to the rest of the photographs!
WOW that is incredible! Thank you for sharing with us! I love hearing people’s thoughts when they go out to make a shot. Aren’t those moments just incredible? (also, can’t wait to go back to New Mexico too! was just there but wasn’t able to get out of the city)
Fabulous!
What a phenomenal photo! So gorgeous!!!
The U.S.’s natural world and beautiful expanse…star-ry clean heart/mind is what sparkles us until each shower/bath! Organic is organic.
By the way…………. Feb 16 (Reuters) – A German shorthaired pointer named CJ won “Best in Show” at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club dog show in New York on Tuesday.
Ditto what Karen said.
