Vast

On July 3, 2025, the Moon moved through its waxing gibbous phase, growing brighter on its approach to fullness. Susan captured it in a single exposure — craters, ridges, the shadowed edges of lunar seas all held cleanly against the black.

No composite. No stacking. No HDR sleight of hand. A single frame, a steady tripod, and a lens capable of resolving the surface of a body nearly 239,000 miles away. The absence of any horizon or reference point is deliberate — stripped of scale, the Moon reads as both intimate and immense, hanging in a field of pure dark that asks the viewer to come closer.

For the collector drawn to the astronomical over the atmospheric. A quiet, commanding piece for a study, office, or any space that rewards looking twice.
