My biggest \"win\" came when my photo of the Milky Way taken on a South Carolina beach won third place in the 2022 Washington Post Travel Contest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI specialize in photographing landscapes, animals \u0026amp; people in places and situations where most people don't go. I am willing to roam deserted locations late at night to shoot the Milky Way and will sit for hours in the summer sun to catch the \"prisms\" created by the wings of a hummingbird backlit by the sun's rays   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy strategy for finding and photographing interesting subjects is simple...... \"If it rains, look for a rainbow. If it's dark, look for the stars.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2026 May Members Only Exhibition: \"Sun, Moon, and Stars\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972169433390,"sku":null,"price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/files\/Maupin_Stan_DuelingSkies__375_1.jpg?v=1776651178","url":"https:\/\/www.crossroadsartcenter.com\/products\/maupin-stan-title-dueling-skies","provider":"Crossroads Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
