Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It began with landscapes and everyday scenes on the ground, and in recent years I’ve taken to the skies with aerial photography using a drone. But it was in October 2019 that my path took an unexpected turn. What started as a quick errand to a car accessories shop led me instead into an astronomy store just a few doors away. Two hours later, I walked out with a spark that would ignite a whole new passion: astrophotography.

​

My very first telescope was a Maksutov-Cassegrain. It wasn’t quite what I was looking for, but it was the first step on the journey that brought me to the setup I use today.

​

I call this site Capturing Ancient Photons because that is exactly how it feels—gathering light that began its journey across the cosmos millions, sometimes billions, of years ago. To think that these ancient photons have traveled all that distance only to end their journey in my camera is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience.

​

Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find as much wonder in these images as I do in capturing them.
