Old Faithful
Old Faithful at Night. Photo taken on September 19, 2022 in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
THE STORY
In September 2022, I took a trip to Yellowstone National Park to experience the Rocky Mountains, Teton Range, and the incredible wildlife that the US has to offer. While on the trip I did a wildlife safari tour, hiked a couple trails to see the geysers and waterfalls, and saw the bison in herds crossing the roads or grazing in the fields among the absolutely stunning landscape that Western Wyoming has to offer. One evening, while staying at the Old Faithful Inn, I decided to take advantage of the clear sky to experience the stars and Milky Way overhead. I left the room at 1am and walked the boardwalk to the famous geyser. Unknowingly ahead of time, the geyser was about to erupt. I managed to capture a few photos of the geyser steam with the Milky Way before the water and steam completely blocked my view of the stars. Being dark outside and intentionally not shining my headlamp, I couldn't actually see the eruption, but it sounded incredible.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Etsy does not allow multiple shipping profiles based on variations. Therefore, if you are an international customer and you do not agree with the cost of shipping, please email me prior to purchase. I am more than happy to work with you to get an accurate quote from the photo lab for the cost of shipping.
----------------
Please note: Each item is made to order so the processing time is approximately one week because I get my photos printed from a professional lab. Because of this, I do not accept returns unless they arrive damaged or have an obvious factory fault. If this is the case, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
The color on your monitor may vary slightly than the actual printed result.

PHOTOGRAPHER BIO:
Not at all a full-time photographer, I just recently finished my Master’s Degree focusing in Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution. I’m also starting a veterinary technician program in order to become a wildlife and zoo veterinary technician. The proceeds gained from my photos will be used to fund my future education in veterinary technical school.
I’ve always had a passion for animals, the outdoors, and photography. I do my best to capture images that make you feel as though you’re actually there. While digital photos often are beautiful, in the frequent words of my mother, “Can we look at it on a large screen? I can hardly see it on your phone,” I’m taking her suggestion one step further. Imagine looking at the photo on your wall. Imagine being able to see the detail one step shorter than actually being there. That’s my goal.
I hope you enjoy experiencing the natural world through my eyes and immersing yourself in my adventures.
