La Primavera Obscura

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Vernal equinox extending daylight exposure
Turning seasons upside down
Northern hemisphere solar eclipse moves closer
Exposing moon's umbra inside sun's crown

Pinhole camera safely views the event
Makeshift device called La Primavera Obscura
Doesn't take much to invent
To captivate the allure and effects lunar
