Moon Spires. Another one of my father's photography images.

So.. I made a post the other day trying to introduce my fathers photography to steemit and that I was trying to show him how steemit works and inspire his support. But.. The post made like less than $2.. And he makes more than that every single time he sells a 4x6 notecard in town.. So.. It's really difficult to inspire him to join when the welcome was so poor.

There were a few nice comments, which is appreciated. But, I don't think my father is going to be signing up with a welcome like that. I already mentioned that there was a good chance he wouldn't because he has muscular dystrophy and it's hard for him to type or use certain muscles for too long because of his disease.. But.. You know.. If there was a really good welcome for my father who is like literally a legendary photography who has got some of the most amazing pictures I've ever seen.. Who knows.. Maybe he would have been much more open to signing up himself and being a part of the community.

But oh well. It is what it is. I still plan on sharing his images because he gave me permission, so. Here's another one of my favorite images of his. Moon Spires, filmed on a 6x7 Pentax in Sedona Arizona, the mountain is Cathedral, it's a REAL moon shot, not a double exposure.. He waited until it lined up and then got really far back with a zoom lens.

Unfortunately because of his disease and age he can no longer go out and film like that and hike to get a spot.. If anything he basically has to film right next to the car and stay on the roads. It's sad.. Though, on the other hand some people get dealt a lot worse cards in life.. At least he can still walk and get around. Many can't.

This image is hanging in many houses and buildings all over the world and has sold to countless people. I'm hesitant to guess just how many people have bought one of these cards over the years.. But.. It's probably a LOT, plus all the people who didn't even buy it cause they didn't have the money or bought diff ones instead or whatever.. But just saw it in one of the stores we sell at and appreciated it. I think something like 5 million people come through Sedona every year.. So.. This image has probably been appreciated by a lot of people.

Including myself. This is one of my favorite images of his, and I hope to get one like this some day as well. Cheers! I hope you enjoy. :)
