Astrophotography
Looking at the Stars Above Puts Wonder in our Hearts.
Who doesn’t love a picture of the night sky. A camera can soak up the light in ways our eyes may never be able to. The beauty and mystery of what is beyond our planet is in the details of every tiny star.
It’s not the stars themselves that stir wonder in our minds, but the knowledge that each small light has it’s own collection of stars, planets, and perhaps even life.
I was fortunate to be in one of the darkest places in the world for this collection of photos. I was also very fortunate to have excellent weather every night! Such a blessing for a photographer.
Astrophotography is intense and amazing. To wait during the night for the right moment when the stars align takes plenty of patience and endurance. I now have my own collection of memories of waiting in the cold, sometimes in the elements, and discussing photography with the other crazy ones spending the night awake and under the stars.
This collection and more are available online for purchase in various mediums, sizes, and frames.
