Full Moon Silhouettes is a real time video of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. I captured the video from 2.1km away on the other side of the city. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to photograph for a long time now, and a lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during moon rise on the 28th January 2013, everything fell into place and I got my footage.

Oh, and Fresh Figs…

I felt compelled to share a recipe since it’s been a while.

Fresh Figs and Basil
The sweetness of fresh figs
The tangy bite of goat cheese
The intoxicating flavor and aroma of fresh basil leaves
The pleasant incorporation of pomegranate vinaigrette
A match made in heaven.
