Reflections on Stock Photography I’ve recently been reflecting on the changes to the photography industry over the years, in particular, the stock photo industry–the one I’m engaged in. To say that the digital revolution has shaken things up is a monumental understatement. Combine the former with the advent of the world wide web and electronic…
I recently did an interview with Foregroundweb about my experiences running a business in photography. If you are interested in any of the backstory, you can can read more at Alexandru Vita’s blog www.foregroundweb.com There are a few sample screenshots below.
I started this blog some 7 years ago. It has served as a great platform to share both my experiences and the photos that are the result of my ventures in Alaska’s wilderness landscape. It’s hard to believe it has been that long. Writing in this venue is an odd thing. Often, I’m not really sure…
In the past, I’ve shared some options for the upcoming covers of my calendars, and have greatly appreciated the input from my blog readers.

It’s future seems tenuous at best, and the…
