When the stars came out at City of Rocks National Reserve, I saw the Milky Way right away… a gauzy spread of stars right above our campfire. I set up and used the glowing light of the fire to paint the interesting rock formations around us. This is why I Read more…

And night came at Cedar Breaks National Monument… along with its billions of stars. I spent most of the time of my night shoot in an empty parking lot near my campsite where it was a bit darker than my campsite. That’s my rental car up there. And a gorgeous Read more…

With news that the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute was predicting the Northern Lights could be visible in New York, we set out for a night shoot facing the predicted view line. And somehow, some way, I got to see the Northern Lights for a second time in my life. Read more…

A long day ended in Wolcott, New York, where we’d settle in for Labor Day activities. But unfortunately the forecast called for clouds the next two evenings. So I set up to shoot right way to capture what I could… and it turned out to be a fruitful shoot with Read more…

I found a nice spot next to the lake to shoot for hours undisturbed. Sure, there were plenty of passing cars, but they illuminated the tree tops nicely as they were high above a hill. These clouds look really nice with the Milky Way. I am learning to embrace them Read more…

Looking at these shots from my evening at Joshua Tree National Park, I am grateful I pushed myself to darkness when my body was calling for a motel room. I had originally planned to camp near Mojave, where I spent the day in the sun. But the forecast for the Read more…

With the new moon overlooking Port Bay, New York, the Milky Way came out to play. Merged faces caught by the ultra wide 📷 Shooting stars 🌠

And with the moonset the enormous blob of white light fell past the horizon at Letchworth State Park, leaving me great conditions to shoot the Milky Way, which seemed to originate from the park’s iconic steel bridge. But while the light was still bright (below), it illuminated the waters around Read more…

After a long day of exploring Long Island’s largest decaying state asylum, we headed to the Island’s end with hopes to catch some kind of meteor shower activity. The night was an exploration of light–first from the beautiful Montauk Lighthouse. But a haze of cloud cover thwarted our plans initially… Read more…

Animals, Asian Cuisines & Fusions, Beautiful Places Far Away, Eating Out, Nature, Photography, Wanderlust
The day would start in a place far from where it would end, in West Palm Beach’s budding downtown–within its brightly colored murals and instagram opportunities, its hip eateries. In the span of just a few hours I was within Florida’s “Prairie”–its cowboy apparel stores, fields of grazing cows who Read more…
