This is from "Aurora night" last week....you remember, the one where I left too early and missed the great show...not that I'm still bitter....🤣

I figured I'd set up a second camera to capture star trails, not knowing what to expect, as the reds in the sky were constantly changing and moving. This is about 90 minutes worth of exposures.

I can't decide whether I like it or not, but the red does add a different twist to the sky for sure. What do you think?

Well, like many others, I went out chasing the aurora last night. There was lots of red in the sky, but no pillars. A bit past midnight, we called it a night. Cold, tired, and sore, it seemed like a good decision.

Waking up this morning and seeing from others’ posts that the big show started pretty much right after I’d gone to bed… well, that decision didn’t feel quite so great. Live and learn.

I did photograph plenty of night sky images while we were out — the sky was clear and colorful. Panoramics, stacked images, star trails… and in the end, this simple single frame might have been my favorite of the night. If you look closely to the left of the Milky Way, you’ll spot the Andromeda galaxy.

“Wait,” you say, “I thought you couldn’t photograph the Milky Way in winter?” That’s true — the bright, detailed core we all love is below the horizon right now. But the Milky Way itself is still there. Quieter. Less showy. Still beautiful. Like seeing an old friend from behind.

And yes, if I sound a little disappointed to have missed the big aurora show, I am. But no night under the stars is ever wasted — especially when shared with friends. That sense of connection to the universe, the reminder of how small we are in the grand scheme of things, and the almost deafening quiet of a cold, clear, dark night… that feels like exactly what we could all use right now.

Happy Solstice! Even in the darkest season, the light finds its way back. Cheers to longer days and lingering sunsets!

Here's something very different for me! It was inspired by an artist I saw in a gallery in Port Townsend several years ago - I wish I could remember the name. He called his style "redux", and it involved reducing subjects to just their basic forms - his were mostly cityscapes. It's been in my mind ever since to give it a try, and I finally found a subject that I thought worthy. This was done all in-camera by overexposing, long exposure, slight intentional camera movement, and a cool white balance setting.

I'm super curious what you think!

They’re here!

My 2026 wall calendars have just arrived — and again this year, you can choose between two distinct journeys through my camera lens:

WONDERS OF THE WEST — Rugged coastlines, towering mountains, plunging waterfalls, desert dunes. “Wonders” travels through some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the western states. Each month captures a moment of pure wonder—a reminder of how vast, wild, and breathtaking the West truly is.

MOODS & MOMENTS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST — No two days in the Pacific Northwest are ever the same, which is exactly what makes it magical. “Moods & Moments” celebrates the region’s ever-changing spirit - stormy seas, contemplative fog, quiet forests, still evenings – it runs the gamut of PNW emotion. Each month invites you to pause, breathe, and soak in the beauty of whatever the day brings.

They’re available now at the link in the comments, at Ebb Tide Gallery in Gig Harbor, or I have a couple of each available for local hand delivery.

Quantities are limited so don’t wait!
