Being a photographer, it was hard for me to escape the hype around the eclipse; but I just wasn't that excited for it. I had a lot going on and wasn't able to plan out a trip. So I decide to let it go and share the moment with my son. Being located in Eugene Oregon, we were still going to be able to experience 99 percent totality.  As the eclipse began, my excitement exponentially increased, and I ran into the house and grabbed my camera.  I'm pleased with the results. These shots are not the typical shots of the eclipse, but something that I feel that makes them unique is how they captured the feeling of the moment.
