    I Was Once — 100mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | EXP 3.2 sec

    I was once new
    Unseen and strong the becoming

    I was once waxing
    Energetically growing keen to know

    I was once full
    Brightly shining radiant life

    And now I wane
    Aged and worn fated to winter

    Upon the last minute recommendation of Jonathan Carr we made our way to a new location to make photographs: Parkertown Docks. This splendid location tucked away along Parker Cove offers 360 degree views featuring salt marsh, bay, bay beach, Atlantic City, and some old pilings. Tons of opportunity here, and no doubt a new go-to spot to watch thunderstorms roll in. Crazy to think this gem has been hiding in plain sight unbeknownst to me in my 27 years living in the area. It’s always a win to shed a bit more ignorance in the face of new discovery.

    It wasn’t intentional (sunset was the goal) but we hung around through blue hour for the full moon rise. It so happened to be the second full moon of October, making this a blue hour blue moon rise.
