I captured this star trail from the AirBNB I was staying at in Sedona, AZ. The night skies over Sedona are particularly clear and lacking in light pollution with minimal city light on the horizon line.

Mesa Verde: Dark Skies and Archaeology
Situated near the four corners region of southwest Colorado, Mesa Verde boasts deep mountain top views, dark skies, and the archaeology of an ancestral Pueblo civilization. Accessing the park was relatively easy. The park is located near several ski resorts so it is relatively accessible by road and air. I flew into Durango, CO and […]

Death Valley: Days And Nights
Second time is the charm. Death Valley National Park contains one of the darkest skies in North America so of course I definitely wanted to get my camera out and get some night sky shots that would be impossible anywhere near the great lakes region where Chicago’s city lights blanket out the stars for hundreds […]
Napa Retreat
My company flew us out to Napa for a multi-office bonding retreat. We had the chance to go to three different wineries, including Silver Oak – one of my favorites. I was able to get in some early morning shooting at a nearby vineyard before heading out with the rest of my team for the […]

Ithaca is in the finger lakes AVA which produces primarily white wines and is compared to the Ruhr Valley AVA region in Germany. Ithaca is known for its gorges and waterfalls. I snagged some waterfall shots on this trip, […]
Coeur d’Alene: A Northwestern Gem
In July, I was invited to host a tech talk on using APIs at JEBCommerce, an agency partner of ShareASale. JEB runs a monthly knowledge sharing session where employees disconnect from their day-to-day in order to learn new skills. Tech talks tend to cover topics that the layman may find dry. As such, in addition […]
The Florida Keys
I traveled to the Florida Keys in order to film the Lyrid Meteor Shower. Unfortunately. The moon was waxing towards full and was up during the peak viewing hours for the meteor shower; however, that didn’t stop me from capturing some awesome star trails after moon set. Landing in Miami, I grabbed a rental car […]
Atlanta 2018
February’s filming location was Atlanta, GA. I basically acted like a total tourist and visited half of the tourist traps off of downtown Georgia’s Olympic Park during my long weekend stay. Lots of these shots are from the Georgia Aquarium, but I also got some shots from the botanical garden, midtown, Coca-cola world, and the […]
