If you follow this blog, you may recall that I had a corrupted flash card from my recent trip in Alaska’s Arctic, and none of the images were accessible. After making a few inquiries upon my return, (thanks to Don Tredennick’s recommendation, one of the guests on the photo tour) I settled on www.datarecovery.com to…
The two Arctic Alaska photo tours that I co-guide with Hugh Rose were full of weather adventure and logistical challenges this year. They were also filled with some fantastic photo opportunities. We always proclaim that the trips are different every year, and this held true once again. The first October, trip was slammed with a blizzard for three…
I recently returned from guiding two photo adventures in Alaska’s Arctic, seeking the northern lights, polar bears and all the other magic that the great north delivers. The trips were wonderful adventures, full of the drama that Alaska is known for, including weather, wind, snow and wild sights. I’ll have a gallery of images to…

Instead of hiking some 65-70 miles round trip through some seriously wet and difficult tundra travel, I caught a ride in and out by bush plane, thanks to pilots…
I planned a trip to Nome many months ago and have been working on some details to refine the exact locations that I’ll visit. I’ve been there a few times, in different seasons, and the Seward Peninsula is a remarkably diverse place. If everything works out according to some loosely held plans, I’ll trek about…
I took this photo of the autumn tundra and caribou antlers just a short walk from my first camp in Denali National Park. The cloudy skies the night before gave way to clear skies as the morning unfolded. I’ll be back in Denali Park for more photography and post some of those photos upon my…
Last Friday in Denali National Park, I stepped out of the shuttle bus into a snow squall. That was a chilly way to start my 35 mile hike and packraft trip over the Labor Day weekend.
