Genesis Inspiration: Photographing the Moon with iPhone

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2025

One of my favorite bands is Genesis. In 1976 A Trick of the Tail came out with a beautiful song ‘Mad Man Moon’. Last month I tried to take a shot of the moon using my iPhone. And this is the result.

Peter Gabriel Amsterdam

Some iPhone shots of the Amsterdam show of the i/o tour, a fabulous show of Peter Gabriel and his wonderful band. The artwork was amazing to watch, each song got a different artful backdrop. When you are 73 years old and still able to touch people this way, creating new work.

Visiting concerts like this makes me dream of being able to bring a proper camera and shoot it from the front of the stage and backstage as a concert photographer. That would be wonderful and challenging. Now it is a look from the distance meeting the limitations of the iPhone; which is by itself a really remarkable camera.
