This is a timelapse image that has accumulated over an hour. With the north star being in the center of the sky and earth rotating throughout the night, an open shutter or timelapse shows the rotation of earth as the stars move! Shot in Saguaro National Park West.
This image was taken on Mt Lemmon one early morning in February when the milkyway was first visible before sunrise. I was actually with a client conducting a private workshop when we witnessed this scene after a 1 mile hike into the desert. The bright dot you see above the mountains is actually the moon rising with the milkyway which created a stunning composition!
Snow in the desert is one of my favorite things to shoot! We’ve been getting more snow than ever recently but usually this event happens once or twice every 3-5 years. I just loved this scene with sun hitting the Rincon Mountains with the leftover snow from that morning.
One of my favotire sunset images to date! I just love how the Ocotillos are blooming with a beautiful sunset sky in the backdrop. Fall in Tucson is one of my favorite times of year!

When I first started my photography journey, I was primarily photographing through telescopes. I would shoot galaxies, nebulas, planets, and starclusters! This is one of those images of M42 – The Orion Nebula. This nebula is the closest star forming region and is located 1300 light years away!

During the summer, we get what is called “Monsoon Season” where a lot of storms come up the gulf of mexico and into Tucson. During this season we get some incredible sunsets after the storms clear out. This is one of them!

Located way out in the Tucson desert where there is almost no light pollution, this scene was captured showing the bright milkyway over our iconic saguaros. This is my favorite milkyway image and has become one of my most popular.Â

This is probably my favorite snowfall image taken in Saguaro National Park East! I just love the cluster of Saguaros with snow on them!Â

This is one of my favorites. I just love how the Prickly Pears are bloowing on the cactus with the milkyway above! Photographed at Saguaro National Park West.
