I am a photographer based in Nebraska. I enjoy spending my free time chasing quiet moments in nature, whether it is a wide open landscape, the night sky, or something small that most people would walk past. Living in the city, I do not get to see all of these things on a day to day basis, Which is what makes getting out and exploring in my free time more meaningful to me.
Some of my work focuses on the night sky, especially photographing the milky way. I am drawn to the stillness that comes when the rest of the world begins to settle down for the night. In those moments, everything feels quieter and more open. Seeing the stars stretch across the sky, along with the sound of crickets in places away from city lights is something that I enjoy. I am reminded by how beautiful and complex the earth really is.
Photography has become a way for me to slow and take more notice of what is around me. It helps me see the things that I might have missed. I hope my photographs encourage others to do the same. To take a moment, look a little bit closer, and discover the beauty that exists in the big and small details of the places that are around them, and to venture out and explorenew ones.
