Mikeetee


This is my friend Mike who now lives in Arizona, and works for the planetarium there. He joined our astronomy club on Long Island about 20 years ago, and took up learning astrophotography. I helped him by giving him film, and processing it for him and making prints. He became a master at this demanding task. We have been friends for years, and have traveled together over the years to Stellafane together. He hasn't been east in a few years now, but came this year and we traveled up to Vermont together. One morning as we were finishing up breakfast, I noticed Mike looking out the window at something. and was struck by what a great profile I saw in this light. I said "don't move!." This is the photograph.
