As an artist there is nothing more important to me than to create original work. Never in my life have I put more thought into a composition then while planning to shoot the neowise comet. Everywhere I turned I was seeing beautiful captures from across the US and beyond, I knew that in order to set myself apart, I would have to go above and beyond and find a location that had yet to be shot. When I arrived in the late afternoon it was well above 90 degrees. As the sun set and the temps dropped I searched for my composition. Among the stillness of the desert only a few sounds can be heard; the creaking of the satellites as they turn on and rotate into position and the shrill howls from a pack of coyotes.
