    Up at Night

    Ben Wurst, Jon Carr, and I made our way to the New Jersey Pinelands’ pygmy pine forest where we tried our best at making astrophotography on a clear, moonless night.

    Whispers in the Dark

    The exceptional thing about living through history is having, if only in a small way, the rare chance to shape it.
