October 2022, Deb and I woke up before dawn to catch the sunrise at Banner Marsh. This shot was worth the trip.

In September 2024, I plotted the darkest sky I could find in a 1 hour radius to take this shot of the galaxy. The lights on the horizon is Macomb, IL.

In March 2025, I noticed this large blob in our back yard tree. Turned out to be an owl. I took my long lens thinking he would flee as soon as I approached. To my surprise, he stood there watching me as I walked up within 50 feet.

In May 2025, Deb and I were scouting scenes to shoot and as I drove towards Princeville, I saw this perfect, old, rustic Red Barn in a beautiful scene.
