Thank you for checking out my portfolio! Whether I'm on the turf capturing the marching arts or out under a dark sky capturing nebulae, my goal is always to create the highest-quality media possible. Producing this work takes significant time, travel, and equipment. If you enjoy the photos and videos I share and want to help fuel the next project, you can see what I'm currently working towards below.
CURRENT GOALS
Astrophotography Gear: ZWO AM3n & Carbon Fiber Tripod
Pushing my deep-sky photography to the next level requires a major step up in precision. I am currently saving $1,798 to upgrade to a ZWO AM3n strain-wave mount and its matching TC40 carbon fiber tripod.
Moving beyond basic, single-axis tracking, this setup offers fully automated targeting and dual-axis guiding. This eliminates the struggle of manually framing faint objects in the dark and removes the need to haul cumbersome counterweights. Its incredible payload capacity, combined with a rock-solid tripod base, will let me securely run much heavier telescope setups, ensuring I get the flawless, long-exposure tracking needed to capture pristine deep-space images.
Marching Arts Gear: Super-Telephoto Lens
Capturing the emotion and intensity of the marching arts from the sidelines requires serious reach. I am currently saving $2,100 to invest in a 180-600mm super-telephoto lens for my Nikon system. While my current gear is great for close-up impacts, this extended reach will allow me to isolate individual performers, catch tight expressions across the field, and deliver compressed shots for the ensembles I photograph for the marching band season.
