It was always going to be incredibly difficult—and, to be perfectly honest, pretty much impossible—to fill Gary Payton II’s shoes. Payton II was a diamond in the rough. It was a travesty for NBA teams to not take notice of him and keep them on their roster, considering that his skill set is what multiple teams value.

Over 200 million Americans watched the total solar eclipse in August 2017, but no one had a better view than photographer Jon Carmichael. He spent years plotting how he could capture the total eclipse in a unique way, eventually combining his passions for photography, astronomy, and flight. “I wondered, if I got up high enough, could I actually see the moon’s shadow move across the Earth’s surface at 2,000 mph?
