Most people travel for the destination. SHIGEYOSHI is about the in-betweens.

• A weather balloon drifting over Monument Valley at dusk

• Starlink satellites gliding silently across the sky over Valley of the Gods — so new and strange that most people thought they were just ordinary satellites

• Wild donkeys standing in the road at Mexican Hat at midnight, staring into the headlights like they owned the place

• An osprey rising out of a mountain lake and flying alongside the vehicle as if showing us the way

• A marmot standing at attention on the rocks in the Rockies, unbothered, looking out over the same view we were

• Anticrepuscular rays fanning across an empty highway at 7am that everyone else drove past without stopping

• A local selling honey at a Ouray (yoo-RAY) overlook — the stop we almost didn't make

• A lavender farm in Oregon where the owner let us stay after hours to shoot the Milky Way over the fields and Mt. Hood

• August snow at Mt. Rainier when we came for the stars

• The Ape Caves in Washington — ancient lava tubes, complete darkness, and a single shaft of light through the ceiling

It's not about the destination. It's about seeing things differently along the way.
