Photography beyond Alaska’s borders
In less than a week, I’ll be flying far, far way from Fairbanks, Alaska, headed to a near equal latitude in the southern hemisphere. This year, my solstice will be reversed and rather than it being the darkest and shortest day of the year, it will be the opposite. Besides collecting the necessary gear (as…
In a few weeks I’ll be leaving for Antarctica. So in the span of a few months, I will have traveled from Alaska’s high Arctic Beaufort Sea to the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. Which got me thinking about the earth’s polar regions. So I made a few greeting cards for the Holiday season using the…
I just returned from a little vacation in Costa Rica, and the humid jungle air was a big contrast to Alaska’s dry climate. Manuel Antonio National Park is located on the Pacific shore and is a popular destination. During a hike along the park trails, a group of white faced capuchin monkeys foraged in the…
Damaraland is a region in south central Namibia, with a mixture of sand dunes and giant bouldered and rocky landscape. I spent just a day there but it was a pleasant one with an overnight in a very picturesque little tented hut, visible in the top of the photo. The view from inside the hut…
This bull elephant came strolling through our camp and stopped to feed on the berries from the large Jackalberry tree, which served as shade for our camp in the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana, Africa. While I’m quite close to this large animal, he showed awareness of my presence, but exhibited little concern judging his body…
For those who have explored Africa’s natural history, the location known as the Okavango Delta has likely surfaced.

This water, in an otherwise dry landscape, creates a mecca for wildlife, and an infusion of green and color…
While this region is popular among photographers, and this image is in no way unique, it was still fun to finally see this wonderful landscape and capture a few frames during my trip to Namibia, Africa. Located in Sossusvlei, the dead trees in this pan are a stark feature indeed. Accessing them involves just a…
I visited this famous location while traveling the vast, dusty and expansive desert region of Namibia, Africa. The color tones and stark contrast evident in this scene make for an unusual landscape of a place locked in time. I took this shot with my iPhone in panorama mode. How I wish my DSLR was such…
My blog posts have been sparse recently because I’m traveling in Africa and the internet is very sparse in bush Africa. While camping in the Okavango Delta, this large bull elephant wandered into our camp to eat the fruit that had dropped from a large nearby tree. It offered some close elephant observation during the…
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…
