SKYGLOW
SKYGLOW is an ongoing crowdfunded project exploring light pollution and its impact on cities as well as North America's endangered dark sky locations. It is being produced by photographers / filmmakers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinovic in association with the International Dark-Sky Association.
The Kickstarter fundraising campaign generated significant publicity[1] and ended on May 9, 2015 as the fourth most successful project in the Photobooks category.[2]

On December 5, 2015, Gavin and Harun gave a sold out talk about SKYGLOW at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, and previewed photos and video from their journeys.[4]
