It's a powerful thing man, there's something really humbling about sitting under the milky way in complete silence. I can’t get enough.

I didn't realize this client created a new key for me and now my accounts are fragmented. I’m changing my pubkey to

I’m going to stop using this one and move over to that. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks to everyone that’s engaged with me today. I appreciate the warm welcome.

Hah, no, but luckily there’s usually not a ton of mosquitos in the desert. Rattlesnakes and tarantulas though.

I like to smoke a pipe. A good ole fashion corncob pipe. Smoking cigarettes is a disgusting habbit, but smoking a pipe is a gentlemanly hobby. I enjoy it, quite a bit.

I prefer to take photos at night - but it isn't always night, and sometimes, the night just doesn't work out. There’s clouds, and the moon, and all kinds of unplesantries. So this is during the day - at White Pocket in Arizona.

Most of the time I am bouncing the light from my headlamp off my shirt, or a rock behind me, or otherwise suplimenting the light. But yes, it is pretty amazing how much light a camera can capture in a 10 second exposure.
Part of the fun is figuring out how to illuminate the foreground without making it look like I shined a flashlight on it.

Awesome! I’m down right by the border now. It doesn’t get any darker and there’s lots of interesting ghost towns and ruins.

There's nothing better on this planet than looking outside of it. ;) Spending time out there really does put things into perspective.

I can't get enough Milky Way. No interest in any place that isn't dark enough to see it :) Thanks.

Hi. I'm Luke. I travel around the country in my RV and find the darkest places to take photos of the Milky Way. I’m new to nostr. Nice to meet you.
