2012, on the flanks of Mt. Tamalpais, somewhere along the rolling uplands overlooking Bolinas Bay I sit with my wife waiting for a solar eclipse. A human being is growing inside her. I have one of my cameras setup, though I’m not really expecting much, my mind is elsewhere. The air is still and as the moon slowly tansits our star the air cools, the light drops, and reality is skewed. If it was a few thousand years earlier maybe I’d be painted in ochre and dancing some trance of exaltation or chanting to scare away the dragon, but that’s all long gone. The mystery was solved but the ritual of paying homage continues with an interpretation through art. To express some part of it.
