  I’m very happy to formally announce the 4th tour of 2011. The “Wild Lands & Wild LIfe: Denali Highway Fall Color Tour”. August 26-September 1, 2011. I’d like to invite you to join me on an epic, small group, wilderness photo tour into the heart of Alaska. The Denali Highway – 135 mile long ‘improved’ road, stretching from Cantwell (near the eastern border of Denali National Park) to Paxson at the east end of the road. From 1957 to 1971, this was the only access to Denali National Park. Since ’71 it has become mostly derelict and poorly maintained. It crosses some of the most dramatic and incredible terrain in the United States. Mountains. Glaciers. Rolling tundra. Taiga forest. Kettle ponds. Raging...

I get a lot of emails from potential photo tour/workshop clients and from photographer travelers looking for tips on an Alaskan vacation. Everything from where can I stay, what car should I rent, what restaurants do I recommend, and what additional guide services I recommend. I love helping people out in their planning stage, regardless of whether or not they decide to travel with me on a tour. It’s just a good feeling helping others. You can buy all the guide books in the world, but I truly believe that talking to someone who has paid a visit to a lodge/guide service/or restaurant more than once. I live here. I travel here as often as possible and I love good food – so I feel pretty good about my recommendations, and my clients have echoed my reviews...

For the past few years, Jim Goldstein has been doing a very fun project to celebrate the efforts of hundreds of photographers over the past 365 days. His “Your Best Photos of 2010″ Project is an amalgamation of a huge variety of photographic and artistic styles, locations, and subjects. It’s always fascinating to see what everyone turns in, and I really enjoy looking back on my years efforts – both successes and failures. I was only able to get to a small fraction of the locations I had hoped to visit, but I’m very happy with this years portfolio. Please let me know which images are your favorites by leaving a comment below! Here’s to this past year, and a New Year ahead! [Show as...

A few days ago, I “sat down” with professional photographer and writer, Guy Tal. Guy lives in Torrey, Utah, and specializes in photographing wild spaces in the American Southwest. I recently reviewed his new eBook, “Creative Landscape Photography” and found it to be vital reading material that belongs on every nature photographer’s book shelf (physical or digital). I’ve been a fan of Guy’s photography and writing for several years now, since I first started participating in various photography forums. His photography is absolutely stunning and shines through in its inherent simplicity. It makes you drop your jaw in awe. His writing is inspirational and contemplative, subtle in style but bold in context. It makes you...
