Our Gratitude from the Shape of the Sky Book Project

An Aurora Photography Collection

The Northern Lights brings us together in curiosity, wonder, and admiration at the beauty of our dark sky and the incredible galaxy where we live. Under the Aurora, we experience not only the power of nature and our universe, but also the wisdom, adventurous spirit, and camaraderie we find in one another.

I would like to acknowledge how much of an impact you have made on my creative pursuits. This photography collection would not be possible without its many talented contributors, to whom I owe my deepest gratitude. When you put your trust in me to represent your talents, it’s a deep honor and it gives me great pride, letting us bring amazing projects to life.

The gift of your support means the world! I would also like to sincerely thank those who offered financial and in-kind support to this project, even when this idea was still taking shape. Your contributions have helped us publish an awe-inspiring collection for all to enjoy!
