Biophilia Images!

Here are some photos of my solo show Biophilia at the Le Mars Arts Center, taken by their executive director Draven Haefs! Note that not all galleries/pieces on display are documented here, but it’s a representative subset. The slideshow includes an image from the reception as well! As a reminder, this show will be up through February 21, 2026 if you want to stop by and see it in person.

Total Solar Eclipse

The total solar eclipse was really cool - it was storming in the region but I managed to get really lucky and the spot I chose to watch it in had the rain stop and cloud cover part right as the eclipse started and our luck lasted through the corona.  Then it rapidly moved back in again, and torrential rains shortly followed!  Many of my friends only tens of miles away didn't have our luck and experienced a much more obscured eclipse.  I was fortunate enough not only to get to see the event, but to watch it with some great friends - Dr. Patrick Bunton and Dr. John Pojman (and John's brother, Jim).  Here are some photos I took during the event; of course there are far better photos out there - my camera is not meant for long-distance shooting nor has a proper eclipse lens - but it was fun to be able to capture some of my own experience, no matter how amazing (or not) the photography.
