"Lake McDonald Pearls." The reflection in Lake McDonald makes a pearl necklace out of the moon’s path across the sky, from moonrise to moonset. I started this photograph at about 11 PM and finished around 4 AM. Behind the lens. This is one of our most technically challenging photographs. On the previous night, I was photographing the moonset from the other side of Lake McDonald. Standing on the gravel beach, in the silent glow of a full moon, I studied the moon's path and then stared across the lake. Back to the moon, then back across the lake. Over and over. Suddenly, this image appeared in my head. You know what that meant -- I had to return the following night and stay awake AGAIN if I hoped to create this image before the weather forecast brought wind and the surface reflection was lost. I showed up early the following evening, took my compass readings, and set up my gear. A handful of tourists overcame their shyness to ask why I was sitting there next to my camera but not taking photos. I tried my best to describe the moonbow that I hoped would happen later that night -- a scene that I had never actually seen anywhere but inside my head. Most of the people I talked to nodded politely and at least pretended to comprehend my challenged description. "You mean you have to stay up all night?!" Yes, I said, knowing just how strange I must have seemed to them. But for this photograph, strange was worth it...
"Chief Mountain Moonrise." A full moon clears the horizon and rises silently past Chief Mountain, on the east side of Glacier National Park, Montana. Behind the lens. Many years ago, I photographed the full moon rising behind Chief Mountain. The image didn't justify the reallife event, so I mulled it over. And over. Almost twenty years later, I finally created this image of the same celestial event. For me, this photograph begins to hint at the mysterious way that we respond to certain locations, like Chief Mountain. Finally, after all these years, this image begins to do justice to the mountain that is a sacred site to the Blackfeet Indians.
