As I take man’s last step from the surface, back home for some time to come (but we believe not too long into the future), I’d like to just say what I believe history will record: That America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return: with peace and hope for all mankind.

- Commander Gene Cernan

It was forty years today (at 22:54:37 UT) that human beings left the moon for the last time. http://boingboing.net/2012/12/14/we-left-the-moon-40-years-ago.html

My belief is that good photography involves the same process as good application and hardware design. You find the essence of what you are photographing, writing, or building and that means you need to be willing to strip away the unnecessary over and over again. In a world where we love to preserve our options, reduction feels limiting, but sensible reduction allows the consumers of the work to better tell their own story.

Rich’s photo from this morning’s dawn patrol. Seeing the sunrise on skis is one of the best ways to start the day.
