  • Dark Night Stars

    I had always loved seeing the milky way with my own eyes. I remember when I was working for the summer up in this valley on certain nights it was almost as if you could reach out and grab it with your hands. Fast forward quite a lot of years and I developed a healthy…

  • Glassy Night

    What I have heard from others that take pictures and from various reddit threads is “marry lenses and date cameras”. After last night I may be engaged.

Night photography has always been a fun challenge. Some of the images I will be showing here will hopefully represent…

  • Rino Art District

    When in doubt. Release the shutter. Some of you may be thinking as reading the title, “That isn’t in Rino”. You would be 100% correct. This isn’t in the Rino art district in Denver. I had always seen this interesting building on social media and it would be for sale every few years and people…
