Hey everyone,

I figured it's time I introduce myself! My name is Aaron. I work as a paramedic and nurse, but I spend much of my spare time as a photographer with a focus on wildlife, macro, and astrophotography.

Feel free to introduce yourself, and follow along if you enjoy photography!

My journey with photography began about 11 years ago when I bought my first telescope.

I’ve recently got a small Astro rig after 4 years away and these first test images were taken to test the tracking accuracy of the mount with various lenses.

I was out looking for owls the other day, and while I didn’t find the pair I was looking for I was lucky enough to find this family of pileated woodpeckers feeding in a large tree.

That’s a wrap on a life changing 4 years. I’m so grateful for the friends made, lessons learned, and opportunities I’ve been given.

I’m even more grateful to the people who stood by me and supported me through the highs and lows. My family, my friends - thank you.
