We spent two weeks in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California earlier this year. Staying camped in the same place (same campsite, even!) for so long is something I had not done until we bought our Airstream trailer last fall. The crazy mode of chasing the light from place to place that characterized all of our previous trips has faded for us in recent months and we are enjoying our new immersive style of travel quite a bit.

You can read more about our transition in this blog post.

Thanks, as always, for your time in viewing my photography!

In 2007 I created a composite image of a lunar eclipse over Mt. Shasta. Despite not having a clue what I was doing (capture or developing) I somehow pulled it all together. The image got some good attention and even ended up in the Smithsonian Museum for a while. Seven years later, the most recent eclipse gave me a rare opportunity to revisit the concept and try again with more advanced equipment and better skills. This is the result (best viewed full screen on black). This image is technically better, cleaner, higher resolution and with much more detail, particularly in the shaded parts of the moon. Many of the eclipse phases required blending of up to six exposures. This final image consists of over 75 layers and took somewhere north of 20 hours of work. However, I think I still like the original more. It had a certain simplicity and realness to it. This one feels a bit busy and over done. Plus, night sky images have become quite common in the last few years, so much of the novelty has worn off. Whether the image stands up or not, I still had a great adventure, challenged my brain and learned a lot.
