"Park Road Glow" Photo Prints devils tower Getting a Big Bend photo

Getting a Big Bend photo was as close to a “must do” as it could be

This trail is the perfect place to contemplate life

I used Google Sky Map to find a campsite that would have a decent view of the south eastern sky

Thousands of wildebeasts stretched as far as the eye could see while predators waited for their chance

I’m not including the day I got married or the birth of my 3 kids

They were the last thing on my travel bucket list, and the last thing I needed for my dark sky photography book. Id been actively trying to catch them for over a year and a half. I live in Chicago, and my book is all about dark sky phenomenon in National Parks. So I needed a strong solar storm, clear skies, a clear schedule, and a very patient partner.
