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 Aurora Borealis Photo Tours in Fairbanks, and many options in between, we’ve got some really exciting tours for 2012. I was just going back through some of the images I captured while on St. George Island, in...

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 all inclusive price: Lodging in Anchorage while on tour Lodging in St. George while on tour All transportation while on tour including: Air transportation from Anchorage to St. George Island & back to Anchorage Ground...

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 our camera gear to make our own abridged translations through images. 2012 is going be a very exciting year for photo tours and workshops with Sixtyone North. Not only will I be offering 4 incredible group photo tours, but I...

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 bad photographs.” Over the past few years, I’ve been focusing more on my landscape photography. St. George Island gave me a very unique opportunity to shift my main focus to the incredible wildlife, albeit with a few...

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 about the Earth’s crust is precipitous. If you were able to stand atop the ‘cliffs’ above the Continental Shelf, you’d already be in nearly 600 feet of water. But vanishing into the blackness below would...
