Dennis Mammana
When the sun sets and the stars turn on their lights, most people retire to the comfort and safety of their homes. Dennis Mammana grabs his camera and heads out the door.
Mammana is a night sky photographer and, if you’ve ever wondered why anyone would choose to keep such odd hours, just check out his stunning photos. (artist page)

Tony's astro-imaging experience started over 25 years ago when he discovered amateur astronomy by accident. A pale yellow "star" turned out to be Saturn and he could see the rings! Once hooked, he endured manual guiding of film shots that became the envy of the amateur world. Tony's astrophotographs are often considered the gold standard against which other images are compared.

Nick Haring
My images were created using three vintage cameras: the polaroid sx-70, canon cannonet rangefinder, and diana toy camera. with them I employ perspective and composition as filters, amplifying signals hidden among the noise of the visual world. I seek out the moment that an image is resolved. many are ephemeral, like an airplane flying past a lamppost. while others have been waiting to be recorded, unchanged for years. (

PETER A NAGAINIS
I first started processing black and white film in my own darkroom at fifteen, guided by books and photographs of Ansel Adams, Brett Weston and the West Coast Photographers. I learned to create 35mm images with Panatomic-X film and fine grain developers to extract the maximum detail from the negative, and to print with the full tonal range available on B&W papers. (

Robert Myers
Photography has been an integral part of my life. In junior high school it provided an identity and tool for personal expression. My favorite teacher? Easy, Mr. Purdy, Graphic Arts and Photography. He kept us out of trouble by allowing us to work early and late in the darkroom - the days of black and white chemicals where I once made my own film on a glass plate and printed Minox photos in a custom lab. In high school I was photo editor of the yearbook and used a slide rule to figure cropping dimensions. (

Susan Coppock
My business is called Night Owl Photography because I have always been a night owl when it comes to shooting photographs. I have been enthralled by the magic and beauty of the nocturnal world for most of my life. I enjoy the serendipity in being unable to visualize completely how my final images will look before I press the shutter button—the heavens seem to be in control and I love seeing what “develops”. (
