Designs in Orbit is currently dedicated and focused on community fundraising, recovery, and documenting post-Helene. You can find me on my YouTube page.
Woodturning
I have fallen in love with wood turning...I harvest hardwood from the forest floor of my own acreage in Green Mountain and turn beautiful handmade wood bowls, vases, centerpieces, pendant lights (and more). I have an eye for preserving as much of the natural character and integrity of the tree as possible.
Photography turned astrophotography is how it went down after moving to dark skies. With a Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and dedicated astronomy camera, I am able to capture photons from thousands and even millions of light years away to create dazzling deep space photographs of stars, galaxies, and nebulae from under some of the darkest skies in the eastern US.
Aerial Videography
Helene documenting has become a big undertaking. I never knew though how much creativity and feeling can be captured filming from a drone. I now have it mastered and can create anything you can think of. I also have professional recording equipment and plenty of video editing experience.
