Just a quick image post from this morning. I woke up at 4:00 am (guess what, it is dark again!) and hopped in the shower, grabbed my gear and I was out the door. Yes Mom, I had clean underwear on… I drove up into Hatcher Pass and parked near Summit Lake, then climbed past [...]
Here’s another recent video produced by good friend and very talented producer/cameraman Scott Slone of Alaska HDTV. I honestly don’t have a clue as to how Scott does his magic with the video stuff – it is sooo beyond my comprehension. I’m just thankful he knows how. We are working on more of these photo [...]
Just back from a quick hike at a weird hour. Weird as in hiking from 9 pm to 1 am. Weird. Well, it is Alaska… Didn’t even need a headlamp at all last night, although it probably would have been a good idea. I spent my time in the wild with good friend and exceptional [...]
Yeah. I said it. I love dirt. Rather, I love silt. Glacial silt to be specific. Glacial silt is velvety, the granules are so small that it is more like a powder, or talc. A few weekends ago, Jena and I went out to the Matanuska Glacier. Watching someone who has never seen a glacier [...]
Just a quick post to “show off” a recent panoramic image I have been working on. Jena and I were headed back from photographing Denali (and the Alaska Range) from the South Overlook on the Park’s Highway, this past Monday night. As we neared Willow, Alaska, we turned our heads to look back at where [...]
Wow… it has been a while. Haven’t had an update in a while here, but I wanted to post a quick image from just a few hours ago. We’ve been having beautiful weather up here in south central Alaska – lots of clear skies. But little “dramatic” light to be seen. This past week, we [...]
I used to love sleeping in. I could easily hit the 10:00 mark (or later) when I was younger. But now that I am “older”, I have a hard time making it past 6 or 6:30. Especially now that I live in Alaska. It seems like a sin to sleep in and miss the possibility [...]
Just a quick image post from this morning. I checked the weather last night for this morning, and it looked favorable. So I set my alarm (thank you, iPhone) and ran out the door this morning hoping for the “Holy Trinity of C”: color, clouds, and composition. I’ve got a new “highly secret” location well [...]
Back again with another shot from this evening. The clouds were a bit thinner, but no less dramatic. Spent the evening with two clients shooting this location. We had a great time and it was great to see them get so excited about the amazing views. But the real photo magic occurred after sunset. Sometimes, [...]
Just a quick post from my drive home this evening. Sunset has definitely been moving earlier and earlier in our Alaskan evenings. Soon “evening” will be replaced by “afternoons” for sunset time. But for now, it’s awefully convenient to have sunset at this time. Don’t need to stay up late to catch it (unlike summer [...]
