I took hundreds of photos of the NEOWISE Comet over several nights in July 2020. This is the best of them all from the first night.

My Latest Hobby

I have been a professional videographer for decades. I rate myself as a pretty good amateur photographer. I want to share my new-found love of photography on this page.

Below are several albums of photos I have taken over the last couple years since I bought the Canon Rebel t7i. I also bought a special lens for gathering star photos and a special filter which I deployed during the total eclipse in April 2024.

I can now add this mix my first portrait shoot (for my daughter) and the most amazing light show in the world, a powerful Aurora Borealis not usually seen this brightly this far south.
