It is not like me to go back, years later, and ‘revisit’ an image. ‘Re-work’ it. I can probably count the times I’ve done this on both of my hands. I don’t know why this is… Perhaps I became so busy shooting new material that I just never had the time to go back. Nonsense… you can always make the time to go back. Or maybe I was just satisfied with the work I had done – I had completely fulfilled my vision the first go ’round. Nooooot likely, I’m my own worst critic. I...

Sorry that the blog has been so ‘dull’ lately, I haven’t been very good about posting updates. I’ve been very busy with handling the logistics and then getting the word out about my 2012 Alaskan photo tour options. Really excited about each of the (4) scheduled tours and the (13) ‘Flex’ tour options now available. I’m also finalizing some very unique boat-based single & multiple photo tours in Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords National Park. Life is good. From day photo treks on a glacier to...
read moreVERY Limited Special Tour Price!
This kind of deal doesn’t come around very often, but I figured – ‘what the heck?’ You may have seen the video promo for my ‘Wild Lands & Wild Life: St. George Island’ exclusive photo tour. If not – look below! So, what’s all the excitement about? First of all – this is an incredible location! Hundreds of thousands of sea birds, thousands of northern fur seals, arctic fox (up close and personal), and mind-blowing landscapes to photograph. The tour typically runs $6,890. This is an...

I’m proud to announce my 2012 Alaskan Photo Tour & Workshop lineup. One of the greatest privileges I have is the opportunity to show off some of Alaska’s wildest and most beautiful subjects to my tour clients. Many of my clients have dreamt of Alaska, as I did, as one of the ultimate canvases to draw inspiration from. It is my honor to be your guide, to show you what makes my heart race so rapidly, to return to areas that take my breath away at each visit. Since ‘words are so beggared’, we will make the best use of...

read moreMore Photos from St. George Island, Alaska
Here are a few more photos from my recent adventure on St. George Island, in Alaska’s Pribilof Island Group. I have been working on editing the nearly 3,000 photos created over those 3 days. The “Selects” have been narrowed to a much more manageable group of around 30 images. That is 1 “Select” image out of every 100 clicks of the shutter. There is an old-ish saying that I first heard from Galen Rowell, “The difference between a professional and an amateur photographer is that a professional takes more...
read moreBeyond Wild. Beyond Words.
To quote Jodie Foster’s portrayal of Dr. Ellie Arroway in Robert Zemeckis’ “Contact”: No words to describe it. Poetry! They should’ve sent a poet. Alaska has been kind to me. I’ve visited locations most photographers dream of & seen things most will never witness. But Alaska is always full of surprises. I spent the past 4 days at a location that I’ve been dreaming of visiting for several years. St. George Island sits just 45 miles to the east of the Continental Shelf. In this region, everything...
read moreHartney Slough Sunset, Cordova, Alaska
Hartney Bay has a lot to offer, photographically, and I visit it often whenever I am in Cordova. In early May, hundreds of thousands of birds use the bay as a resting ground as they migrate north to the Arctic Slope. During June (while guiding my tour), it is not uncommon to find moose wandering the Slough side, amongst tall grasses and wading through the shallow stream. Eagles circle overhead, and bear scat can be found without too much searching. Who can blame the animals for spending time in the area? It’s incredibly beautiful; with...
