Bert Halstead

I have enjoyed photography since I was a boy and still have happy memories of days spent in the dark, entranced by the magic of photographic chemistry. Like many in my generation, I have experienced the wonderful thrill of watching images emerge from a blank sheet of paper in a developing tray. Although I have long since moved on to digital photographic technology, I still enjoy discovering and recording beautiful and interesting moments.

I find myself especially drawn to subjects that offer strong patterns, shapes, textures, contrasts, and moods. Conquering the special technical demands of astrophotography draws on my background in science and engineering, while that same background further enhances my wonder at the beautiful structure of our amazing universe.
