A quarter moon seems to be smiling as it rises in the purple evening sky. I wanted to put that incongruous moon into an incongruous context, so I moved my vantage point until a jagged portion of the canyon wall resembling the head of a lion appeared in my frame. I aligned the moon just adjacent to the lion’s mouth – making it seem as if the smiling moon was about to become an evening snack. By underexposing the canyon wall, it becomes an abstraction – a silhouette that can become anything a viewer’s imagination might wish for. Some may see my lion, while others will just see jagged rock. If not food for the lion, this moon should offer at least food for thought.
