This is from an old ghost town called Rhyolite in Nevada, on the border of Death Valley. It’s the old mining site where they used to get the Borax, with the 20 mule team. I spent all night out there trying to get this picture perfect. It’s the first image that really made me decide - alright, astrophotography is what I’mma do. This is for me.

It’s also the first time I realized that someone put art out in the middle of nowhere, just for me to find and be amazed. It changed my appreciation of art, and the course of my life.

I quit my fancy tech job and started a media company, sold my house, and now I travel to the dark places in my RV and take pictures of the sky.
