“I believe there are four experiences that regularly redirect the course of life for people positively. These four things each have the power to change our perspective of what’s possible in the World around us.The first two, Photography and Astronomy have affected me most deeply, and forever changed the course of my life. In different ways they both address Time, and it’s uncontested power over the entire Universe..., except for the Photographer who can stop time forever capturing a moment, and the Astronomer who can glance at will back through the Universe’s histories as far back as the Big Bang.The third life changing experience I believe to be acts of service. Service to those around you can transcend bias and experiential prejudice and connect an individual to a greater purpose. Those deeply affected by this are often the people you know who identify with volunteering, caregiving, or even who professionally commit themselves to trades like medicine or nonprofit organizations.The last is the Arts, both visual and musical. How many have picked up a paintbrush only to realize that painting is part of their identity every moment thereafter? The same is true of any musical instrument. We all know someone who doesn’t just hear or see art or music, but lives it and feels it deeper than the rest of us can understand.As humans, we crave connection and these tools each have the power to bring us closer to our Universe and to each other.Have a great week everyone! Looking forward to seeing those of you coming to my talks this week. 👊California Nebula shot with a 17” Telescope.”.credit: @gibsonpics.C’monBoard Astronomy brings together the best photographs of space.
