LANDSCAPES & ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY

Chasing the
sky and
the horizon.

The other side of the camera bag: aurora, the Milky Way, moonrises, mountains, and the wild places in between, caught on the nights and mornings between sessions.

New Hampshire and beyond

EVERYTHING ELSE

Twenty-five years
of chasing light.

Long before a camera pointed at a wedding or a portrait session, it was pointed at the sky: storms rolling off the mountains, aurora over a quiet lake, a supermoon clearing the trees. This is that side of the work.

ON THE GROUND

Mountains,
fields, and
open water.

The quieter half of the job: a sunflower field at first light, a storm breaking over a western valley, the long drive home with the camera still on the passenger seat.

CLOSE TO HOME & OUT WEST

Wildlife and
fall in
New England.

A few of the locals, the season New Hampshire does best, and some of the wildlife that drew the camera out to Yellowstone.
