Alaska Photography and Photo Tours: Specializing in Wild Lands & Wild Life
Hartney Bay is well known for the visiting migratory birds. This location sees a lot of birds the first week of May. How many? Oh… around 5 million. Give or take. Two photography tips for this location in May? Yeah… you’ll thank me later. Tip #1 – Wear rain gear at all times. Might be [...]
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 [...]
Finally made it to 100 posts. I’d like to thank the academy and my parents of course. Now where is my Kanye West moment? I’ve covered a lot of things on this blog/journal and it has been fun to watch it grow and build momentum. I started slowly. The first post was back in February [...]
This is a good time to remind you of my upcoming photo workshop/adventour in June. Seats are limited, but we have a few spots open at this time. Please click HERE to read more about this one of a kind experience. Of course, if you have any questions, please contact me at any time. I [...]
Just a quick post today, sorry for the lull in activity lately. I’ll have some more content up asap, as well as a few announcements. Before I forget, don’t forget to take a look at the recently announced workshop: Alaska’s Southern Coast, June 11-18, 2010. This panoramic was shot yesterday morning at sunrise. I was [...]
This is the workshop I’ve been subtly hinting about for a while now. I’m very excited to be hosting this workshop along with my good friend Gary Gullett. Gary is the owner and founder of Chicago Photo Safaris, and we met over 1 year ago while photographing the wild waters wildlife of Kenai Fjords National [...]
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 [...]
This is yet another composition made above Willow Lake, just southwest of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park boundary. We spent two incredible sunrises and two sunsets here, along with 2 moonrises near the sunset times. Each morning there would be a light mist over the lake, a slowly moving fog. As the sky brightened, preceding [...]
On Friday I embarked on a 4 day, 900+ mile fall color journey “around the block”. What do I mean by “around the block”? I drove from the Anchorage area north to Cantwell, just south of the Denali National Park entrance, then turned east across the Denali Highway. Over the next few days, I made [...]
Grab the Kleenex (Kleenex is a Kimberly-Clark brand), make sure all your manly friends aren’t around to see you, and get ready to feel the need to cuddle up with something soft and warm. 1 week ago, I boarded the high-speed ferry in Whittier, bound for Cordova on the eastern edge of the Prince William [...]
Another trip to Seward, another epic adventure. Joined my friends at Kenai Fjords Tours on another “Captain’s Choice Tour“. We spent the day plying the waters outside of Resurrection Bay. There were several photographers on board; both local Alaskans as well as first time visitors to our amazing state. It was great to shoot along [...]
Not too much writing here, just wanted to introduce you to some of the shots I got this past weekend in Homer. There are two main shorebird festivals in Alaska. The first is the Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival, based in Cordova and the eastern Prince William Sound. It is more secluded, logistically challenging (you [...]
I have had many dreams over the past several years, since moving to Alaska. And, since moving to Alaska, many of those have come true. I have seen more amazing scenery and wildlife in the past 4 years, than most will see in a lifetime. For those of you who have been following along, I [...]
Just a quick shot from Saturday evening. Again, taken just outside of Talkeetna from one of my favorite locations – the Talkeetna Alaska Lodge. Tens of thousands of people have seen this view from the lodge deck – during the summer anyway. In the winter, I’ve never seen anyone else out here. It is always [...]
Well, Oprah is off for the week. So she asked me to step in to fill the void for the book club puppet master. Sorry to say, no one go looking under your chairs… you won’t be finding a set of keys to your new Toyota 2009 Toyota Prius. She gave me the job, not [...]
