Total Solar Eclipse - June 21, 2017 - Nashville, TN

Some photos that I took of the total eclipse, from Nashville TN. The first photo is an unfiltered shot dimmed by cloud cover, after that are some photos leading up to totality, then totality with diamond ring, and finally some more shots after totality. Enjoy!

Shira Cave - Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

An early morning view from Shira Cave campsite on Mt. Kilimanjaro

Night Sky - Baranco Camp - Tanzania

A view of the night sky from Baranco Camp on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This is a 30 minute exposure. Each line is a star and this captures its movement over the 30 minute period. Throughout the night, all stars rotate around the north star as their center point, which you can not see in this photo. You can see some rock formations in the foreground shadows. 

Shira Cave - Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

An sunrise view from Shira Cave campsite where I spent my first night on the way to Uhuru peak, the highest point in Africa. 

Grave of Susan B. Anthony - Election Day 2016 - Rochester, Ny

I was fortunate enough to spend Election Day 2016 in Rochester, NY. This is also where Susan B. Anthony lived, passed away and was buried. In 1872 she was arrested for voting, 48 year years before women were legally able to vote in the United States. The Anthony Amendment was ratified a  mere 96 years before votes were cast the the first ever female presidential candidate from a major party. The United States sure has come a long way, but still has quite a ways to go.  

Machu Picchu, Peru

Faces of Peru

Just a few of the faces that helped me on my way in some form or another during my trip to Peru.
