My images have appeared in a few publications over the years. Most recently I’ve written articles featuring my Nightscape photography of the California North Coast for print in the North Coast Journal newspaper and Humboldt Insider magazine.
On the internet one can find my weekly nighttime photo stories “Night Light of the North Coast” (or “North Coast Night Light,” depending) at the web sites of the North Coast Journal, Redheaded Blackbelt, and Anderson Valley Advertiser .
I wrote the cover story and of course made the images for “Under the Milky Way: Stargazing on the North Coast” for Humboldt Insider’s Spring/Summer 2019 issue (link to article).
Humboldt Insider quarterly travel magazine is the beautiful, all-glossy hot-ticket source for local travel tips, happenings, insights and maps behind the Redwood Curtain on California’s North Coast.

I had the great honor and pleasure of writing the cover story — and of course shooting the photos — for the first issue of this premier North Coast publication’s 30th year. Read the article here: “North Coast Night Lights:
The skies of Humboldt County“
I picked up a few copies for myself, of course…
“…wanna see my smiling face/On the cover of the Rolling Stone…” (lyrics from Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show).
This cover isn’t mine. I wrote a stargazing article for this print issue titled “Beach Bonfire, Meteors and the Milky Way” (link to online version).

Cover photo for the 10/17/19 issue of the North Coast Journal. (The historic Arcata Minor Theater during a PG&E PSPS, Public Safety Power Shutoff, on October 9, 2019 in Arcata, California.)
In my own story in this issue, called “The Night the Night Light Went Out” (link to online version) I share images from my tripping around Arcata that night with my son.
For those owners of iPad and parents with kids, I’ve written a children’s story for iPad called Luna Raccoon , available on the Apple Book Store. Narrated by accomplished Narrator and Actor Ray Porter (his IMDB link), and illustrated by Christiane Gozashti.
![Fields Landing - Humboldt Bay, Humboldt County, California.. Swipe for 3 separate panes. Shooting star/meteor in middle and right panes. .
I had another great time out being photographically creative with @maryburnzz . It was a good night for it! We each caught a shooting star, I think two different ones. .
.
A fishing boat and the last dying embers of the sun's orange glow marked the horizon. Ground lights spilled their illumations across the landscape and up onto the clouds, and the stars popped out in all their constellations. Venus was sinking in the west, bright enough to cast a reflection on the bay. Even a faint hint of Milky Way 🌌shone diagonally across the sky. Even EVEN our neighboring galaxy Andromeda 🌌 was visible above the channel marker with the green light on it. To cap it off, I caught a meteor/Shooting Star! 🌠(See it?).

From the story on kymkemp.com (Redheaded Blackbelt): “It [my pano] comprises five separate, side-by-side vertical frames, which I then put together into the whole. The resulting view is nearly 180º.” .
