Astrophotography

Illumination

"It may be that our cosmic curiosity... is a genetically-encoded force that we illuminate when we look up and wonder." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Green Meteor

Watch the world turn

A self portrait watching the stars.

Light up the Night

The Bodie Island Lighthouse pierces the night but makes almost no impact on the incredible Milky Way.

Beyond

Beyond the horizon the planet begins.

Enchantment

I can envision a tying of the knot in the moonlight and milky way right in this spot.

Illuminate

The Milky Way illuminates the sky above the Linn Cove Viaduct on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A cold and clear night after our Winter Workshop two weeks ago led to perfect conditions for star gazing! This was one frame from a time lapse that we had going to capture the movement of the stars and the cars wizzing by.

Open Up

Unfolding and embracing the heavens

Milky Tide

The beach at folly lit up by the milky way

Into the Dark

The Pier reaches out into the Sea while the Milky Way looks down.

Dark Night

Take Me Home

The road out to the beach under a Moonless sky with only the Milky Way to direct us onward
