After over ten years in Oakland and two in Truckee it’s time to head back East to be closer to family, friends and jobs. I will dearly miss the diverse landscapes and people of California, but I am also excited to enjoy the cultural, infrastructural and culinary amenities of old New England.

After the terrible smoke last of year, we decided to take month away from the Sierras and spend it in the Pacific Northwest instead. It was lovely to spend time in another city and explore the Cascades and Olympics.

It’s that time of the year when the skies are clear and the stars beckon us to view ourselves as part of a larger galaxy.

Another workshop with Great Basin School of Photography, spent five days in the valley chasing waterfalls, moonbows, star trails and a lunar eclipse.
