full moon

and lo, it became clear to me that this 2 week film project should be about the moon...

because it's easter...

a 2 week break from teaching centred on easter sunday, which is always on the 1st sunday after the 1st full moon after the spring equinox...

so i realised today that this means in the week before easter there will always be a full moon...

and so close to the equinox (well, a week or so) with the moon being full that means the moon & the sun are pretty much at opposite ends of the planet right now, so when the sun rises the moon sets and vice versa... the equinox giving us a fairly close night / day ratio...

so i'm staying awake until 6 when i'll be out there somewhere filming the moon pretty close to the horizon, then @ 6 every morning for 2 weeks,

the moon will be moving quite alot in that space of time...

from almost due west this morning to almost due east in 2 weeks...

a challenge catch it...

then i'll get a few hours sleep, getting up when dinah does around 10, my body will hate me for that after this 1st shock it should be fairly easy setting up the rising @ 5:15 am routine that i'll be doing every day...

then two weeks of that and i'll be set that way...

i still love my improvisation from thursday... i'll be glad of my shuffle out there on the streets when this tea is drunk...
