Reviews
Michele stumbled upon photography as a way to document student learning when she was teaching in Honolulu in the 90's, which led naturally to documenting her own kids' learning and their family adventures. Moving from Honolulu to her summer home in Michigan in 2017 prompted the formation of a bucket list, as she thought they would only live there full time for a year or two. Topping that list was catching the Northern Lights. She lives around the corner from Glen Haven, one of the best places to catch aurora in the area, which makes popping out to take photos easy at a moment's notice thanks to the Michigan Aurora Chasers. A week-long workshop with photographer Gabriel Biderman from National Parks at Night a few years ago sparked an intense interest in night photography and the decision to purchase a second camera and tripod, specifically to capture time lapses of aurora. Michele has captured aurora dozens of times and has seen STEVE twice for sure, possibly three or four times. The be-all and end-all was a trip to Lofoten, Norway to watch aurora unfold effortlessly and right overhead for hours. True story: while in Lofoten she taught the guide and the driver a thing or two about the Space Weather app after hearing Melissa F. Kaelin present!
