The snow keeps falling Fairbanks, with about 6-7 inches of fresh snow over the last day or so. Spring seems far away. As I prepare for a few days in the Copper River Delta region for the Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival, I pulled this picture out of my archive, taken a few years ago.…
This is not the first time I’ve shared similar pictures, but I’m compelled to put them out there as an exhortation to respect the beautiful Alaska that many of us call home. These pictures are a common sight along the James Dalton Highway, designated one of Alaska’s scenic byways. The highway transects remote areas and the few…
I’m re processing many images from my previous international travels and I came across this one, which is timely since I’ll be visiting Africa again this year. I remember taking the picture, since it was it was baking hot in the white mid-day light when it is challenging to photograph. However, I still like the…
I’m playing a little catch up and processing the Antarctica photos from my January trip to Antarctica. Here is a gallery of 75 from that journey.
This is another photo from my recent trip into the Brooks Range to photograph the last show of aurora before summer. I was using a wireless remote to attempt some self portrait work, but the long time in the subzero temps caused some problems and it quite working. So I used a regular remote in…
It is hard to resist the lure of Alaska’s arctic. It’s immense, wide open, unpopulated spaces, pure white snow, and rugged mountain vistas are the gift of wilderness that refreshes the soul. For me it was the last venture and quest for some aurora borealis photography before the darkness is consumed by constant sunlight. Even now,…
As daylight floods back in Alaska’s north, the dark skies are diminishing quickly. The season for aurora borealis photography is waning, but there could be at least one last good show this weekend, if all of that energy recently blown off the sun actually hits earth. There is currently a middle latitude aurora activity watch in effect,…
This is part two of the former post. Since I could not put two polls in one post, I had to separate them out. Finicky software. So, sorry for the redundancy. I’d appreciate a click for what you think would be the strongest selling calendar cover. I added one new variation. This calendar highlights the interior regions…
Over the past few years I’ve greatly appreciated the comments and feedback from you regarding my choice and design for the Alaska Calendars I publish. Believe it or not, I’m already working on the 2015 Alaska Calendars. Here are three cover options I’m considering for each of my Alaska Calendars. The 2015 ALASKA Profiles in…
With each successive year, I become increasingly more fascinated, intrigued and concerned about the the arctic itself and the inhabitants that live in that beautiful but austere landscape. I was proud to participate in a book project over the past few years that sought to help bring public awareness to some sensitive areas in the…
