Let There Be Stars...


I once again challenged myself to embrace the darkness.  And this time, with additional threats from the hungry bears...

I took the first picture during the day just to remember how lovely the place was under bright sunshine.  However, at night, the place was filled with frightening silence and pure darkness -- even the waves in the lake stopped moving.  I drove the car to the edge of the water just so it's easily accessible.  I left two doors open just in case of a bear attack.  I repeatedly told myself that I was the only one here so there was "nothing" to worry about...  Then, I set up my tripod at the very left corner of the loading deck and began the seemingly LONG process of taking these photos.  Again, they are not perfect, but have been improved from what I was able to produce before -- that's all that matters.

Talking about craziness, I tortured myself in the dark not once, but twice during the 3 days I spent at Teton.
