It’s nearly impossible to take a ‘good’ photograph of the moon with my cell phone but this doesn’t stop me from trying. I’m not alone in this act. In the Summer of 2021, I began collecting bad cell-phone photos of the moon taken by colleagues, friends, family members, lovers, and strangers. This collection of photographs is an ongoing archive that contains every image that was contributed. In our attempts to preserve and capture through photography, we inevitably reduce and compress the vast objects of our love and longing. An oblong spot of bright blob in a field of black or a tiny spec of white (is that dust?) in a field of blue, the results are perfectly terrible and despite our failure, we can’t help but keep trying.
All are invited to contribute their images via email (@badmoonphotos123<at>gmail.com) OR Instagram (@bad.moon.photos)
