¶I managed to take a few photos during totality, with my phone. This is probably the best. It’s not great, but it’s enough to remind me of the event and the experience, and that I had no regrets in my decision to forego the big camera and simply be present in the moment. The few moments, really.

¶Today is eclipse day. Perrysburg lies right in the path of totality, which is pretty exciting. I’ve seen at least one partial eclipse before (in 2017, I think), but I’ve never experienced totality. I’ve agonized over whether I wanted to photograph it or now, even scouted 6-7 spots around town and selected what I thought would make a cool composite photo (a spot down on the Maumee side of the river). In the last few days, though, I’ve decided against doing that because it would require me to stay in that spot for probably 5-6 hours and, more importantly, it would mean I wouldn’t experience the eclipse with Renee.
¶Once I thought of it that way, the decision was easy. Bring it on!
