How was our galaxy formed? Apart from few scientific theories, there are many myths. Why not write my own?
Once upon a time, there was a huge bush fire raging on a small planet. The fire burned so fierce that its embers and smoke were expelled from the atmosphere and flung into outer space. The embers kept burning for eons and gave birth to new suns and eventually a whole galaxy, in which the small planet was totally lost between billions of suns and huge dark clouds of cosmic smoke along the galactic plane…
Pure nonsense? Look at my image and tell me what you think!

We had another night photography outing early this morning over at the Toadstools. The stormy skies from last night abated and gave us some really clear skies. The Milky Way in March is the best! I love how low they are to the horizon and how they incorporate so well into a landscape orientation. If you're interested in learning night photography, just visit my website and we'll schedule an outing. We've got two more night outings this week with some clear skies in the forecast!
The historic Harrisville Cemetery tonight, under a brilliant night sky with the Milkyway galactic core rising in the east. 🌌
I was very lucky to get a clear window of opportunity between lingering clouds and the early AM fog that rolled in, causing condensation to form on the lens.
I really need to invest in a lens warming band to wrap around the lens barrel, which prevents the glass from fogging up.
All in all, a fantastic night out in a stunning location. 😊

During my recent trip back to Nevada, I captured the beautiful Milky Way glowing in the early hours of last Wednesday—around 4 AM.
Cosmic Dust Ritual
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I was watching the sunset under a red cosmic dust cloud when I took this photo. I was sitting in silence enjoying this unique view in the sky. It was a moment when I felt very, very lucky. I had not yet given a name to this nebula I had just discovered. Instead of naming this nebula, I decided to savor the moment. A nebula or nebula is a nebula structure in space made up of cosmic dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases spread over vast areas. They were the remains of a dying star. Even billions of years old stars can have an end. When I think about it, a shudder takes over my body. While the concept of the end sometimes causes peace and excitement in me, the concept of the end sometimes causes fear in me. A concept that can put you in volatile moods is the ending. Maybe I should stop thinking about the end. But I still can't stop myself from thinking about my end. There is a result that I have experienced with nebulas and which surprised me quite a bit. I always felt a tremendous sense of peace in the face of all the cosmic dust landscapes I encountered. I was able to sleep better at night. And when I woke up, I felt that my whole body was completely relaxed. The dreams I had when I slept under the cosmic dust were also different. At night, I had dreams that made me happy and did not tire my mind. I discovered that cosmic dust causes positive results in the human body and soul. However, I have never measured it scientifically. It was just an observational discovery. Even thinking about those moments gives me peace right now. Again, I can't wait to encounter a cosmic dust landscape, the nebula.

Hello everyone,
I’m releasing short and fun content between my bigger production projects. Enjoy!
Misc. Credits
Friends, when I was in my mid-40s (before I ever picked up a camera) an intuitive/seer told me that I was an artist who needed to be making art. I resonated with what she said. I immediately bought some art materials and started making art. No instruction. Among the first images I made were many mandalas ... all about the circle form. I recently came across some of those early creations in an old portfolio and had them made into digital images so I could share them with you. This one, Cosmic Abstract, was made with art markers on poster board (and countless hours of obsessive detailing, lol!)
My intention was to suggest a many-layered multi-dimensional reality wherein the unseen, due to its vastness, can only be pointed to, but is both very real and more monumental than all of that which can be seen. Since I will be 'graduating' from Planet Earth this month, sharing these is a now-or-never deal. More to come. Many blessings to you all. Thank you, from deep in my heart, for your interest in my work. ♥ K.
(p.s.: the "Taken on November 3, 2016" under the image is incorrect. That's the date I loaded the digitized image onto my computer. I created this piece sometime in 2000 or 1999.)
The aurora quickly developed and the centre passed overhead spreading onto the east and west horizons.
There was a bat flying about in the middle of the day~~I tried a number of times to capture little video clips of it without any luck~~the clips are kind of funny, appears that the camera is just moving about randomly scanning the woods.
This is the best thing that I could get out of the bat chasing adventure.
Cosmic Dance || New Zealand
There are certain times as a photographer when events line up in perfect harmony. In this case, I was very fortunate to be in the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve near Lake Tekapo New Zealand with a crystal clear sky coinciding with a new moon. This gave me a wonderful opportunity to capture an enormous amount of stars streaking across the pristine sky.
I love shooting star trails because I feel as though it creates a very powerful mood in my imagery. Obviously, having a strong foreground element is a big part of the puzzle when trying to create an immersive scene, and the Church of the Good Shepherd has become an extremely popular location for this type of photography. Being that it’s such an awesome looking old stone structure, it’s easy to see why so many stargazers and photographers love this spot so much.
For everyone who’s downloaded my Photographing The World: Cityscape, Astrophotography, and Advanced Post-processing video tutorial on Fstoppers, you’ll just know this photo as Lesson 18. ;)

After a day of thunder and rain the sky suddenly cleared and gave way to a truly cosmic display behind the famous buttes of monument valley.
The foreground and the buttes were lit by some passing cars, while the orange glow on the horizon is caused by lightpollution from some nearby small towns.

Observed with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the faint galaxy featured in this image is known as UGC 12588. Unlike many spiral galaxies, UGC 12588 displays neither a bar of stars across its centre nor the classic prominent spiral arm pattern. Instead, to a viewer, its circular, white and mostly unstructured centre makes this galaxy more reminiscent of a cinnamon bun than a mega-structure of stars and gas in space.
Lying in the constellation of Andromeda in the Northern hemisphere, this galaxy is classified as a spiral galaxy. Unlike the classic image of a spiral galaxy, however, the huge arms of stars and gas in UGC 12588 are very faint, undistinguished, and tightly wound around its centre. The clearest view of the spiral arms comes from the bluer stars sprinkled around the edges of the galaxy that highlight the regions where new star formation is most likely taking place.
