Harvest Moon

If you are out and about near sunset this evening, the Harvest Moon will be in full view.  With the recent heat and dust particulates in the atmosphere the moon should appear larger than normal.  The September full Moon occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. Native Americans would call it the [...]

Final Flight of the Endeavour

This can be a strange and unusual job.  One day it's a wildfire, maybe a county Supervisor's meeting.  The next could be a football game or a black tie event.  It really never gets boring. That's why I jumped at the chance to photograph the final flight of the Shuttle [...]
