An old camp station wagon pulling a teardrop trailer at night with star trails and passing headlights. Car was light painted under a nearly full moon using an off-camera flash in about 12 different exposures. Star trails were then photographed using about 50 each 20 second exposures.

A collection of traditional tee pees at night in the Mojave Desert under a full moon with a halo around it. When I took this in January of 2019 these were all for rent. Always wanted to go back and spend the night in one but never got around to it. Not sure if their still here.
