About
Hi, my name is Henry Lee – I’m Canadian, born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia.
After almost two decades in astronomy research and service, I’ve decided to one up and leave, and travel around the world (RTW) in 2012.
I arrived at photography late – I got my first point-and-shoot camera in 2005, and I purchased a digital-SLR in 2008. As an astronomer, I’ve been very fortunate to have lived in and travelled to different places around the world, which has opened my eyes, to both the good and bad.
With my exit from astronomy and entry into the unknown, I hope to bring different parts of the world into view and focus for the reader by providing commentary and photography from various places along the upcoming RTW journey.
I’m looking forward to going out in a different direction, to engaging with the world in a different way, and to seeing what there is on offer.
