✨Happy International Dark Sky Week!✨

As we celebrate International Dark Sky Week, we're reminded that the night sky is one of the most powerful—and fragile-resources we share. For photographers and travelers alike, pristine dark skies aren't just beautiful; they're essential. By taking the dark sky pledge from and , we commit to simple but vital actions-cutting light pollution, using smart lighting, and protecting these wonders. These efforts don't just benefit the environment; they directly shape the future of night photography, ensuring that the awe-inspiring starscapes we capture today remain accessible for generations of storytellers to come.

Join us in this quest and in our Dark Sky experiences throughout the summer!

Happy Belated Earth Day! 🌎

To wrap up International Dark Sky Week and celebrate Earth Day, and invited me to help document the epic Hunter Noack’s concert. When I was told it was “A Night Under The Stars” in April…in Oregon, I knew seeing the stars might be a long shot. However, on the last song, the clouds parted and it was as if time stood still. The music, the views, the whole experience is one I won’t soon forget. 🎹✨
