Full Moon over Beaver Bay, Monday May 23rd, 9:52-10:46pm

Matthew Pillsbury's long-exposure photograph captures the ethereal stillness of Beaver Bay bathed in the silver glow of a full moon, with time itself rendered visible through the extended 54-minute exposure. The archival pigment print transforms the nocturnal landscape into a luminous, dreamlike scene where the boundaries between sky, water, and land dissolve into a seamless continuum of light. Pillsbury's precise titling of the date and exact time span grounds the otherworldly image in a specific moment, underscoring his ongoing exploration of time, light, and the passage of lived experience.
