UNDER THE STARS
“My fascination with stars, constellations and galaxies lead me to explore night photography. While researching the best places to shoot the night sky, I learned about International Dark Sky Places, which are remote locations with an exceptional quality of starry nights. I chose to shoot New Mexico's night sky for this series. I live in Dallas, Texas and do not have the opportunity to view many stars in the sky. The most wonderful part of this experience was seeing the infinite number of stars illuminating the sky. It was an awe inspiring, spiritual experience.” - Janis Hefley, Artist Statement
