Wondering what it's all about

(just like everyone else)

To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit

-Stephen Hawking

This website was originally conceived to showcase my astro-photos, and to a smaller extent, blog about my astronomy and astrophotography journey: to share in the wonder evoked by the night sky—that awe one feels when gazing through a telescope or looking at images of the cosmos. 

However, this past year (2019), I’ve made slower than intended progress with astrophotography and though not quite planned, also had to take time off work, allowing me some additional time with my interests in books, soccer and music. Consequently, the plans for this site have expanded to include more content—my thoughts on things besides astronomy as well—that I invite you to engage with. 

Welcome!
