Alaska Photography and Photo Tours: Specializing in Wild Lands & Wild Life
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 [...]
It has been a little while since my last post. The last two weekends I’ve spent a day each shooting with Scott Slone. Scott is the owner, videographer, host and producer of Alaska HDTV. He’s done fantastic work filming and producing in every corner, nook and cranny of Alaska. It’s always revealing to photograph along [...]
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 [...]
Here are a few more images from last Sunday, taken out at Eklutna Lake, between Palmer and Eagle River, Alaska. Stay tuned…
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 [...]
Here’s a few more images from Sunday – hope you enjoy them! Stay tuned…
I apologize for revisiting “Sir” Vanilla and his seminal “musical” score… Anyway, less talk and more images. Here are two more images from Sunday’s trip “down south” to the Kenai Peninsula. Stay tuned…
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 [...]
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 [...]
This image was captured 1 week ago, Saturday night. It was the night after the full moon. But hey, close enough. It really was a magical sight, as the moon crested the snow-capped peaks then climbed into the newly anointed nighttime sky. This image is actually 3 images stitched together to form 1 large file. [...]
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 [...]
Here are a few more shots from my trip last week. Remember to get out and shoot. Take care and stay tuned.
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 [...]
So yeah… this is what happens when there is an active volcano nearby. Ash in the atmosphere causes objects that appear white in the night-time sky to take on a beautiful red glow. I had just checked into my “secret hide-away” in Homer, just after 11 pm. I was getting settled in and just happened [...]
Well that’s a different take on weather conditions, especially coming from a photographer. Photographers, myself included, typically seek out beautiful weather, beautiful sunsets, and beautiful sunrises. Brightly lit and colored clouds, warm light everywhere. Most “photogs” would probably take it 25-8-366 if it was offered. BORING! I got up fairly early on Saturday and made [...]
Not gonna get long winded on this one – just wanted to show some pics from Homer in March. My final trip there of the year, and likely the last time I will witness eagle feeding there. Unless they change the rules. In short, I hope they don’t. I do think it would be better [...]
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 [...]
