Putting it on the news!

It was my pleasure to work with Evan and Kirk on a local news story again. The last story I worked on with them ended up winning a regional Emmy award. I wouldn't put it past them to repeat.

From fewer fireflies to confused sea turtle hatchlings, experts say skyglow is threatening wildlife across Florida's Gulf Coast.

I had some fun running around Florida Gulf Coast University and The Water School at FGCU during the lunar eclipse...

Milky Way from Marco Island's south beach

This was from an unsuccessful attempt to capture a comet last year. When I realized the comet was too faint, I switched gears and caught the Milky Way setting over the Gulf.

Hope you're doing well :)

For my So Ill peeps.

I'd prefer we not argue about this on my page. The form is the best place to voice your opinion. If you still need to rant on FB, there are other pages with plenty of that occuring.

Hi folks! We would love to have your feedback. :)
