I’m a former science teacher with interests in photography, space, and art. He/Him Silence is Consent. Resist.
Went out between 10pm and 12am last night to catch the Perseids meteor shower. I saw a bunch but only one was bright enough to show up on camera. Perseids get the attention, but honestly, the Geminids are the much better show. #perseids2026 #meteorshower #astrophotography #eastcoastkin
Good morning again from the beach! Heading home today but got in one last sunrise and ran into my friend, Dan, again! Can’t wait to edit the pictures I got with my good camera.
We were watching ships from our hotel balcony last night and thought we saw a cruise ship. Found a site with live tracking that confirmed it was the Carnival Pride coming back to Baltimore from Bermuda.
Me and my daughter at Virginia Beach over the years. Bottome right is this year.
The Pacman Nebula 5 hrs in broadband Bortle 5 First time in a month that I've had clear skies and no full moon! #Astrophotography #eastcoastkin
Some early morning photos around Colonial Williamsburg . #photography #colonialwilliamsburg #eastcoastkin
Can’t wait to pick up my daughter from her 4-week ballet intensive with the Boston Ballet School! Driving up to Boston today.
The Elephant Trunk Nebula in RGB. Started this a month ago and finished last night. Between travel, clouds, and a bright moon I was skunked for a good bit. Happy how it turned out! 10.5 hours integration. William Optics Z61ii and ZWO 183 OSC Wider view in 🧵 #Astrophotography #eastcoastkin
Found some fireflies the other day. #fireflies #photography #eastcoastkin
Happy #waterfallwednesday! Took this photo along Big Mary’s Creek in Vesuvius, Va. #longexposure #photography #eastcoastkin
My first firefly photo in a while. I intentionally left them out of focus to try and get "Bokeh" balls of light and I love how it turned out! #fireflies #photography #eastcoastkin
Tried to bring out the squid from some OSC data. Meh. I really need mono and filters for this.
For some reason, I keep coming back this photo. She’s not doing a crazy dance pose but it’s like her face is mirroring the face in the mural. It’s badass.
