Leonardo Da Vinci explained the phenomenon of Earthshine nearly 500 years ago. He realized that both Earth and the Moon reflect sunlight. But when the sun sets anywhere on the Earth-facining side of the Moon the landscape remains lit — illuminated by sunlight reflected from our own planet. Astronomers call it Earthshine. It’s also known as the Moon’s “ashen glow” or “the old Moon in the New Moon’s arms.”

I just moved into a new studio in The Stutz Building, downtown Indianapolis. It’s a wonderful turn-of-the-century factory originally built for the Stutz Motorcar Company. Great windows, light, character and history throughout.
