The Photographer

So here's an amazing story.  This is Frankie, a photographer from Brooklyn.  She is not an astronomer, she is a professional photographer.  And she got to Stellafane in such an unusual way.  Because she is a photographer she became interested in lenses and optics.  And I am not exactly sure what happened after that, but because Stellafane is about telescopes and optics, she ended up here!  I saw her photographing the front end of a telescope with a medium format digital camera, which is a serious piece of equipment, and what was even more amazing was that she had this portable studio flash unit on a light stand as well!  Nobody does that!  So that's why I started talking to her and learned her story. So I asked if I could take her photograph and she said "sure!"  I hope I get to see some of the photographs she did while there.
