Under Bortle 3/4 Skies
Light that left its source millions of years ago, gathered one long winter night at a time.
From his own backyard in Grants Pass, Joshua photographs galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, auroras and the Moon — often collecting ten or more hours of exposure per image. Each frame is the sum of patience, dark skies, and a lifelong fascination that began with an astronomy book found in the third grade.
