Les and Mary have been photography enthusiasts for decades and met on a SDSU photo field trip to Yosemite in 1990. While nature photography is their primary interest, their passion involves sky phenomenon, especially eclipses. They have been photographing total solar eclipses all over the world, as well as auroras and night skies.
Les and Mary taught ~3000 people how to safely view and photograph the April 8 eclipse through multiple webinars and in-person workshops. They have seen 16 total solar and 4 annular solar eclipses with images being published in Discover and Astronomy Magazines.
Les is a retired U.S. Navy scientist and Mary is an astronomy hobbyist who retired from the Fleet Science Center and Planetarium after over 45 years. They moved to Saint George in 2018 and enjoy sharing what they have learned with others.
