Hello!
This all really started during the summer before the freshman year of highschool, I started to pursue my interest in the night sky. Before then I spent plenty of time inquiring about the universe and the objects in our night sky, but I never took action to go and see it for myself. That summer I was out every night that was clear learning the shapes drawn out in the sky and trying to find objects with a pair of binoculars. Needless to say I was addicted. Fast forward a few years and I have a new camera with much better lenses, mounts and editing skills, that allow me to create better images everyday no matter how unrealistic.
It wouldn’t be fair to not mention my mom who’s love for nature really put me here. Her appreciation for our little mud ball, inspired me and made me crave to know more about our planet and the universe beyond. I know I don’t have an impact on the quest to learn about our universe but still having this hobby where I stay up to late hours, freeze or be eaten alive, get to picture the universe in all its beauty and do something that reminds me of my mother is really incredible, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
