Just getting started on Blue Sky. Really liking the UX. Expect posts about photography and design! Here’s a photo of star trails I took in Terlingua, Texas in 2023.

Just realized we can see the Aurora tonight in Massachusetts. Grabbed my camera and ran out of the door!

Starfish of the #PNW add some vibrancy to the moody Rialto Beach.

Just spent 2 weeks exploring Oregon & Washington state, including 3 national parks. Got tons of photos to share with y’all. Here’s a few of my favorites. Many more to come!

I don’t really take photos of anything besides nature, but last week I had fun shooting these custom cutting boards my friend made in his shop.

It’s not perfect, but camera sliders are fun!

The photo vs. how I got there.

A few shots from my trip to Hallstatt, Austria a few winters ago. Pictures simply don’t show the depth and magnitude of beauty that exists in this part of the world.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

Went out to photograph a lighthouse a sunset today and forgot my tripod. Thankfully I found this rock to balance my camera. In retrospect, this wasn’t very smart, but it was perfectly level. 😂
