In the summer of 2001 I had a remarkable opportunity… a six-week period spent traveling to the western states for the purpose of taking pictures of the night sky.

In any trip one has little adventures that come to define it. This is the collection that happened to me and some pictures to go along with them.

The links below will take you to individual chapters and essays, each of which link to the next in the series. The collection of them has also been compiled into a book containing additional images which you may download (20MB) and peruse in a new browser tab or PDF reader.
