Mt. Wilson Observatory in the Angeles National Forest, California
Slow down. Look closer. Reflect.
Welcome to Mt. Wilson Observatory, where the night sky invites us to pause and rediscover the beauty above us. Nestled in the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California, this week's Look Closer experience explores moon photography, quiet observation, and the wonder that unfolds when we simply look up.
For generations, the moon has inspired curiosity, imagination, and a sense of connection to something greater than ourselves. As you move through these photographs, notice the light, the shadows, and the details that often go unseen. You don't have to understand the night sky to appreciate it. Sometimes, looking up is enough to remind us how beautiful it is to simply be present.
Take a slow breath.
Tonight, don't forget to look up.
Let's begin.
Take your time. What's the first shape you notice?
If this landscape had a message for you today, what would it be?
What caught your eye first? What caught it second?
Take a deep breath. What do you notice around the moon before you notice the moon itself?
Take your time. Where does your eye naturally come to rest?
How many craters can you count?
Take one slow breath before you continue.
What caught your eye first? What caught it second?
✨ Before You Leave...
Did you notice...
☐ The light?
☐ The shadows?
☐ The details?
☐ The quiet?
☐ Yourself?
Every week I head into nature with my camera, never knowing exactly what I'll find.
Sometimes it's wildlife.
Sometimes it's a waterfall.
Sometimes it's something hidden in plain sight.
Thank you for slowing down and exploring with me today.
I'll see you on the next trail.
If one of these places spoke to you, you can bring it home.
Rising Through the Ashes
from $128.50
A veil of fog settles over a mountainside forever changed by wildfire. Charred trees stand as reminders of what was lost, while those that remain reach quietly toward the sky. Nature does not rush its healing. It begins where the damage was greatest.
The contrast between the dark landscape and the soft, luminous mist creates a powerful sense of resilience. This photograph captures the moment when recovery has already begun, even if it is not yet complete. It reminds us that strength is not found in avoiding hardship, but in choosing to grow through it.
Photographed in Southern California, this piece honors the resilience woven throughout the natural world and within ourselves. It speaks to anyone rebuilding after loss, navigating change, or discovering that hope often returns long before certainty does.
Designed for therapy offices, counseling centers, healthcare environments, executive offices, wellness studios, waiting rooms, and homes seeking meaningful, grounding artwork, this piece offers both quiet reflection and enduring hope.
Your walls can do more than just look nice.
They can remind you that even after everything burns, life finds the courage to rise.
This metal print is a dimensional and high-quality piece of art that stands the test of time while remaining easy to clean and care for. The artwork looks luminescent against the wall and the metal base means it’ll last a long time.
• Aluminum metal surface

Always There
from $128.50
The moon rises gently above the mountain ridge, suspended between the endless blue sky and the forests below. Though it appears for only a moment in this composition, it has always been there, quietly keeping watch through every season, every sunrise, and every chapter of our lives.

This photograph invites us to remember that not everything meaningful demands our attention. Some of life's greatest comforts are simply constant, waiting for us to look up and notice.
Photographed in Southern California, this piece celebrates the quiet reassurance found in nature. It is a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, there are rhythms and constants that continue to guide us.
