Haven't posted in ages. Here's an aurora image of mine that's doing the rounds right now:

For those that know me on a more personal level, they know how much the act of photography has been instrumental in keeping me sane. During my burn out it pained me that the thing that I couldnt do it I can't put into words how good it feels to be back to creating.

Last night I watched a good video about the overvisitation of the USA's big national parks, driven by big budget tourism campaigns and social media. The crux of the issue? "Today an increasing number of people are going outside not to get lost or to explore, but to be seen."

I've had 2 Iwi (tribes) from the north island ask me to work with them over the winter to help tell their Māori Astronomy stories through my video and photography work. I can't believe how much doubling down on my niche has helped my business grow the last 2 years. #grateful 🙏🏼

Kia ora. Here's an #astrophotography #hiking pic from a climb that took me 15 hours and 32km of walking with 25kg on my back. Gotta love the grind to get to some NZ's best views.

1/ as we experience solar max and an increased chance of aurora viewing for more of the population, I hope it widens the conversation on dark sky preservation. I’m sure many people who attempted to view the northern lights at the weekend had a tough time due to light pollution

Back again to stick this one up for people to see. Had a weekend of killer skies, super exciting stuff. Aurora, Milky Way, some cool galaxies... all that you want in astrophotography. Hope you enjoy this one 🙂

can we all normalize not apologising for being away from twitter because we needed to take a break from sm or things got difficult irl or you were away on a photo trip with no reception or whatever reason. i find it very odd having to read these explanations.

Forest Therapy is a collection of four fine art prints made in my favorite local spot. I suck at marketing my art, but I've got some expensive dental work coming up to help motivate me! More info in the tweet below. Any shares appreciated :D

Friday night on the south coast of Wellington, New Zealand, it was probably the best Aurora display that I've seen from Wellington.

Heads up #wxtwitter . @rawsalerts is coming for footage this season. They don't seem to know where the retweet button is and they certainly don't know how to license it.

Last night on the Wellington South Coast the aurora made an appearance, and it certainly didn't disappoint! – at Wellington City, New Zealand

Gotta love the nights where it's all a mess but it still works out somehow. Such a good show, such a good time. Would do again/10
