I began my photography journey in a very strange way. I bought my first DSLR camera for astrophotography. I had been introduced to taking images of the night sky back in 2013.

I bought my first serious telescope then not knowing what I would need but only knowing what I wanted to do.

After a very steep learning curve full of victories and disappointments I started finding my way around to capture images of night sky treasures. During this journey I began shooting sunrises, sunsets, moonrises, moonsets and various moon phases, constellations, odd cloud formations and more. This led me to diving deeper into the full spectrum of deep sky astrophotography. I obsessed with these types of images over the next 4-5 years.

Fast forward to the Fall of 2019, I had a chance encounter with someone who was taking photos at a local lagoon while I was there. We started chatting and I was offered an opportunity to go on the Kennebecasis River to take some wild life photography.  Now it's a Saturday morning ritual spending many hours on the river taking photos I never thought possible.

Since then there have been many courses and many people discovering the joy of photographing the night sky.
