This is a photo of an annular eclipse taken in Harvard yard on May 10, 1994.
There was a light cloud cover which allowed me to take the photograph
without having to use any special light-reducing filters. And, no, I
didn't look directly at the sun through the viewfinder!

This was taken during an incredibly rare display of the Aurora
Borealis (the "Northern lights") as seen from Provo, Utah, at
9:00 pm on November 8, 1991. For a long time, I had trouble
convincing anybody I had seen what I had seen (especially since
it was cloudy most of the night and I just happened to look outside
right as the clouds cleared momentarily). With the advent of the
internet and Google, however, I finally discovered that I was
witness to what has come to be called "The great auroral display
of November 8, 1991."

This is a shot of the Boston skyline taken from the bridge
near the Charles/MGH [Mass General Hospital] "T" station, sometime
around 1996.

I saw this rather distinctive bush while vacationing in the
southern part of China in January of 2001. I have no idea what
type of bush it was, or whether it is even native to China.

This is a chipmunk, photographed near the abandoned mining town of
Silver City, Idaho, sometime in August of 1987.

This is one in a two-part study I did on horizons and their
effect on composition. In this photo, I shot the horizon low
in the frame to emphasize the rolling expanse of clouds.
|
|
This is comet Hale-Bopp, taken in November of 1996 from the roof
of my four-story apartment building in Somerville, MA. I used my
new 500 mm reflector telephoto lens, with 1600 speed film and an
exposure of approximately 20 seconds.
|
|
This is another shot of comet Hale-Bopp, taken at about the same
time as the previous image.
|
|
This is a photograph of the so-called "grand conjunction" of
Mars, Jupiter and Venus, which I took from Provo, Utah, on
June 15, 1991. The planets were actually a little closer together
on the previous night, but on this night I managed to catch the
moon right in between the planets for an extra special shot.
|
|
This is the second in my two-part study of horizons and
composition. This time I shot the horizon higher to emphasize
the field and the mountains.
|
|
This was an early attempt at close-up (or "macro") photography in
1986. I didn't have a special lens, so I simply removed my
standard 50mm lens and held it against the camera backwards.

This was taken in my hometown of Natick, Massachusetts, in October
of 1991.

This is a shot of Heidelberg Castle in Heidelberg, Germany, taken

This is a shot of the Hong Kong Island skyline, taken from the
Kowloon mainland in January of 2000. Note that many of the buildings
are festively decorated with lights for the New year.

This is a photograph of Lake Cleveland in Oakley, Idaho, that I
shot on July 4, 1986.

This is a photograph of Lake Minidoka in Rupert, Idaho, that I
shot on July 4, 1986.

In 1987 I took this amazing photo near Burley, Idaho. It was taken
during an incredibly intense daytime lightning storm, and I used an
entire roll of film trying to get one shot with lightning in the
frame. This is NOT a double exposure, computer altered, or otherwise
"gimmicked" photo!
|
|
This is a shot taken during a furious lightning storm in Provo,
Utah, sometime in the Summer of 1991. If you look carefully,
you'll see the smokestack of the Brigham Young University power
plant emblazoned with the letter "Y".

This is the first in a series of photos I took of the moon
through my 4 1/2 inch reflector telescope during 1991-1992.
|
|
This is the second in a series of photos I took of the moon
through my 4 1/2 inch reflector telescope during 1991-1992.
what makes this one particularly interesting is that it was
actually taken during the day, hence the blue tint.

This is the third in a series of photos I took of the moon
through my 4 1/2 inch reflector telescope during 1991-1992.

This is a photograph of my all-time favorite constellation,
Orion the hunter, taken in 1991 from Provo, Utah.

This is a photograph of a flying pelican taken at Lake
Minidoka in Rupert, Idaho, on July 4, 1986.

While out in the boondocks of Southern Idaho in the Winter of
1986, I was able to get away from all city lights and photograph
this magnificent star field that features my second favorite
constellation, The Pleiades [a.k.a. The Seven Sisters].
|
|
Sometime in 1986, I was driving along a country road near Burly,
Idaho after a torrential rainstorm and was entranced by this
wonderfully bucolic scene.
|
|
Once again, driving down the road near Burly, Idaho, when
I saw this beautiful rainbow set against the dramatic mountain
backdrop. Fortunately, I always travel with my camera with me!

An interesting formation of rocks in the so-called "City of Rocks"
somewhere in Southern Idaho [probably near Twin Falls], taken in
1986.
|
|
I woke up one day in 1986 to see an orange sky and a swollen sun,
caused by too much pollution. This being Southern Idaho, the
pollution was due mostly to all the fields that were burning during
the harvest season.
|
|
Another Winter star scape shot somewhere in Southern Idaho in 1986.
This time I decided to include a bit of the city lights [such as they
were] for contrast.

First in a series of shots I took in the Summer of 1998 while on a
whale watch cruise out of Boston Harbor. Most of the whales we saw
were small Minke whales, but toward the end of the cruise we
encountered a pod of hump back whales! Because I wasn't expecting
to see whales up close, the only lens I had with me was my 500mm
reflector telephoto. As it turns out, though, the whales actually
came right up to the side of the boat and my lens was mostly useless.
Fortunately, I did get a couple of good shots as we left the area....
