On a cool evening a little while back I had the great pleasure of sharing one of my favorite sunrise and night viewing locations with two new friends. We arrived late and worked our way back and forward on the long pier relishing the cool as the sun departed.
It was a special moment and […]

Last week I headed out to Bulls Island with a group to capture some stars. Unfortunately the skies were very very cloudy and I only saw one star. Never fear there is always sunrise and more to work with. For the daylight […]
The rush of the water and the pull of the tide as a gnarled old tree still stands chest deep in the swirling Atlantic.
If you have never seen these boneyards along the coast of South Carolina and Georgia then you are missing out. This twisted speciman on Bulls Island is much more interesting in […]

A few weeks ago I found myself riding in the back of a government owned pickup truck leading a group on a sledge, safari style through the maritime jungles of Bulls Island. We were hunting dark skies and had arrived early to see the wildlife and capture sunset in the boneyard. The amount of […]
This past weekend a bunch of friends headed out to Capers Island to scout the island and capture the beauty of the boneyard, dunes, beach and geminid shower. We decided to kayak out to the island, but we had too much gear so we got our friends at Coastal Expeditions to drop it on the […]
