Sorry I haven’t been doing regular updates. These past few weeks have been “just a taaaaaad bit hectic”. Good hectic. Heck. Great hectic. For three weeks, a very special person came to visit me in Alaska. We had great weather and forged great memories. We even took a few decent images together. Heck. More than a few.
She must have liked it a little bit, because she’s moving up here. It must be Alaska. I mean, I’m “ok” and all, but this state is pretty good at making connections. Connections with the land, the wildlife, and people. I’ve made so many great connections over the past several years living here. I made those connections on my own. That will be different now, and it’s a change I’m looking forward to. Now, Jena. You can’t comment here, I don’t want this getting all mushy. I’ve got an image to uphold. 
I’ve got a lot of images from the past several weeks. Besides having Jena visit, I’ve since had photo tour & workshop clients. We’ve shot in the sun and the rain, in the steady wind and the absolute calm. This coming week, I return to one of my favorite spots on this planet – Cordova – with a few more clients. It’s back to the sea otters, bald eagles, calving glaciers, and rain forests. Then a weekend for myself (hey, I’ve earned this one). Then several more clients before the holiday weekend in July. Needless to say, I’m loving life. And life is loving back.
I’ll try to post a few shots over then next several days, then more upon return from Cordova. Got a few to put up… and the collection is growing.

It’s nice to finally read that YES, Jena IS moving to Alaska (as if we didn’t know) and to see all the beautiful images you both made during that time.
Happy for you and looking forward to many more photographic adventures from the two of you.
