I attempted to picture the moon too, in my own small way, and I like to think to belong to those dreamers that always look up and try to catch what cannot be caught.

Ansel Adams. Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico. 1941. Gelatin silver print, 15 x 18 1/2" (38.1 x 47 cm). Gift of the photographer. © 2016 The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.

This is Ansel Adams' Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico from 1941: one moment, one chance, one negative. The beauty and the balance of this picture are stunning. The black and the white are so harmoniously in contrast that you could sit for hours looking at this picture.

I always think that while I struggle to learn Photoshop there were (and probably there are) some masters of the photographic process, able to control its elements in a dark room, from the exposure of the negative to the development of the picture.

John Adams Whipple. The Moon. 1853-54. Salted paper print, 18.4 x 15.2 cm.

“This is one of the first pictures of the moon, taken pairing the camera with the telescope.

I find so fascinating seeing the evolution of technology, or the lack of it, but still the capacity of creating beautiful things.”

An orangutan spearfishing in Borneo. It learned from watching local fisherman, but the ape did not develop sufficient skill to catch any fish. The photo was published in the 2008 book Thinkers of the Jungle: The Orangutan Report by Schuster, Smits, and Ullal.
