My Son, Skyler texted me this morning to tell me how cool he thought the crescent moon looked as it came up over the horizon. What he liked about it was how the crescent was positioned. I went out to look at it and, sure enough, it looked pretty cool. […]

I couldn’t remember when it happened, but I was very curious to find out; so I did a search on the internet. It’s amazing what a person can find on the internet and the crazy paths those searches take. The event that I couldn’t remember exactly when it happened was […]
I was invited to go up into the High Uintas last Saturday night to photograph the Milky Way. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to go, but I had the feeling that it was the right thing to do, so I gathered my gear and made the two hour […]

I had an interesting experience while flying to Northwestern Florida a few weeks ago. The plane I was on had TV monitors installed in the seats, so I decided to spend a little time meandering through the various entertainment options they provided. One of the options was a selection of […]
