Alaska Photography and Photo Tours: Specializing in Wild Lands & Wild Life
Not quite sure why I never posted this on the blog before… sometimes I amaze myself. I am really happy with this image, from my last tour to Cordova. There are still a few seats on my small group tour to Cordova in June of 2011. I’ll be posting a full tour description soon, but [...]
I am happy to announce a new tour offering for this coming winter. It is part of the Wild Lands & Wild Life Series, and is called “Aurora Borealis & Winter Landscapes”. Join me at a remote lodge for 8 days and 7 nights where we will focus on the beautiful light and landscapes that [...]
I’ve recently received several tour/workshop reports from clients I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with over the past several months. First off, I want to thank them for taking the time to send me their feedback. It is very valuable to me – and allows me to hone in on areas that I need [...]
It can be very difficult to portray certain scenes, especially landscapes and macro photos, so that scale is evident. Unless you were standing there yourself, size is all a guessing game. So here is a quick snap I took of one of my clients from this recent tour to Cordova, Eric B. of Missouri. The [...]
Sometimes, words can’t possibly do a place justice. Sometimes, pictures fall short. Sometimes, a location hits you so hard that it literally changes your outlook. It sets your mind reeling, sways your body, and makes your heart long to return – even before you’ve left. For me, Cordova is that place. The old saying is [...]
Sorry I haven’t been doing regular updates. These past few weeks have been “just a taaaaaad bit hectic”. Good hectic. Heck. Great hectic. For three weeks, a very special person came to visit me in Alaska. We had great weather and forged great memories. We even took a few decent images together. Heck. More than [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
Don’t worry, this is not a Victoria’s Secret add. I would probably be the last to say that moose are “attractive” creatures. In my humble opinion (or, in internetics, IMHO) they are pretty much butt ugly. However, they are impressive as hell. Especially when they are walking right towards you, a purpose in their step, [...]
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 [...]
I like odd angles. I’m an odd person. It just fits with my personality. The entire Labor Day “long weekend” fall color tour was shot in the company of two great photographers, and as I mentioned in an earlier post, they pushed me to take my photography to the next level. If you want to [...]
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. [...]
Here are a few more shots of the same aspen grove from before. There were so many compositions and opportunities here, we just kept shooting. Energizer photogs… And yes, stay tuned…
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 [...]
I have rented specialized photo equipment several times this past year. I started by trying out BorrowLenses.com services. I had every intention of trying a few different companies, but BorrowLenses.com impressed me so much, that I never moved on. I’m hooked, what can I say? If it ain’t broke, why fix it? They have great [...]
Greetings everyone, sorry for the few posts recently. I’ve been very busy planning an epic workshop next June – I’ll be formally (and fully) announcing it asap! So stay tuned. I’m leaving on Friday for my annual fall color solo adventure “up north”. I’ll be traveling along the Denali Highway for several days. Hiking and [...]
Here are a few more shots from my trip last week. Remember to get out and shoot. Take care and stay tuned.
No, it’s not a drinking problem. Although, there are plenty of fluids around… As I said in my last post, Cordova is drenched in vibrant life and color. It is the most lush place I have ever seen. If you allow your eyes to drift down from the mountain peaks, you will first meet solid [...]
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 [...]
