The intricate beauty in the universe around us, from a droplet on an autumnal branch to the awe-inspiring patterns and colors in nebulae and galaxies fascinate me.

A course in Night Photography introduced me to the nuances of light and color after the sun sets.  In addition to urban landscapes, we photographed the grand Milky Way.  The allure of looking deeper into the night sky called me.  Using telescopes, dedicated astronomy cameras, and specialized filters, I am able to image ancient light, things unseen with the naked eye.

On clear, calm, nights when the moon is dim, I wheel my telescope out to image the universe.  It’s not unusual for neighbors to stop by; it is a privilege to share the night sky with them. 

A retired epidemiologist, I also hold an MPS in Digital Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York.  I usually image the night sky outside of Boston in the company of three wonderful Golden Retrievers
