"Everybody notices the phases of the Moon, but to most people every full Moon is alike - the rising or setting Moon looks large due to perspective's playing tricks on the eye, but surely the full Moon high in the sky is always the same, right? Wrong."

From John Walker's fascinating Web page Inconstant Moon

Summer Nights at Blue Plum Gallery

Embarcadero Nocturne


One of our best . . . The Nocturnes presented Embarcadero Nocturne at three different venues along San Francisco's waterfront recently. Bay Area Nocturnists and Alumni of our various programs contributed their best Night Work to this show! The exhibit explored the latest nocturnal imagery of the Embarcadero with a wide variety of images, subjects, and techniques, covering the area from the Ball Park, north to the Ferry Building, and on to Pier 35, at the northern end of the Embarcadero. We asked only that your images be taken from, looking at, or be about the Embarcadero - you could have photographed the Bay Bridge from the Ferry Building dock, or a palm tree on the Embarcadero, or the F-line cars as they enter the northern waterfront terminus, or the Bow and Arrow ("Cupid's Span" by Claes Oldenburg/Coosje van Bruggen), etc. . . .
