By day nature is wondrous, and by night nature is breathtaking (both literally and figuratively). When I photograph nature by day I am taken with amazing features and phenomenon that I can easily comprehend my scale and place. When I photograph nature at night, under a blanket of infinite stars, I am reminded how astonishingly vast our Universe is and how incredibly small, fragile and special our world is. It is in these moments that I am reminded how important my photographic efforts are to not just see the beauty of our world, but to translate how special this beauty is to anyone who happens to look upon it.
