Experience

For me, astrophotography is a medium for revealing the beauty and drama that is captured in the ancient light of the cosmos. In making my photographs, I use the classical approaches of fine art photography, including framing, color, movement, depth, and texture to compose images that have emotional impact. I strive to create visual experiences that evoke a sense of familiarity and connection, and offer the viewer a portal to a deeper level . . . a window to see and feel their connection to the Universe.
