Here is a new cover from one of my favorite places outside of Alaska, the Canadian Rockies!
2007 Milepost – Alaska Travel Guide
I picked a good time to do a series of posts on our new covers as the 2007 Milepost arrived in the mail just today. This is a cover I’m really proud and excited of as the Milepost is a long running publication that I remember well even as a kid – every vehicle traveling to and through Alaska back then and today has one of these on the dash, as well they should.

Fodor’s 2007 Costa Rica Travel Guide
I think I mentioned here before that I still get a kick out of seeing my photos on the cover of publications. Since I started doing some shameless self promotion in my last post, I thought I would continue by sharing some of our new covers over the next few days. This cover of Fodor’s, along with the cover of Frommer’s Costa Rica 2007 are both from our trip to Costa Rica in 2004. I haven’t written about that wonderful trip here yet, but you can go to our main website to see more of our photos of Costa Rica.
Popular Photography Magazine and Old Growth Forest
Most people who view a mature forest full of big beautiful trees would mistakenly call it an old growth forest. To be an old growth forest, some of the big beautiful trees need to start falling down due to natural causes. The fallen trees can block streams creating valuable habitat for fish and other animals, and the decomposing tree offers the forest other benefits. This is why old growth forest is so important.
I read up on this a few years ago while visiting the redwoods and was determined to photograph an example of an old growth forest. While out hiking one day I found this scene which I thought did just that. I knew this wouldn’t be a calendar or travel image, but we work with a number of text book companies and I thought they could use it. So what does this have to do with Popular Photography?Read More
Humpback Whale in Seward, Alaska
Seward residents have been treated to a visiting Humpback Whale for the past week. This isn’t one of those whales you can barely see looking South out the bay. No, this whale has been coming right up to the head of the bay and swimming close to town, and even near the cruiseship dock! We have seen it on four different days this week from our office – whale watching is sure a nice break from key-wording! Yesterday there was a pretty big crowd of cars and locals watching. I think it is pretty cool to see people stopping and still getting excited about a whale swimming by considering most residents of Seward have probably seen a lot of whales over the years.Read More
Two big thumbs up for the U.S. Alpine Ski Team!
The U.S. Alpine Ski team has been in Alaska this past week for the U.S. Alpine National Championships. I didn’t make it this year, but my sister and her family did. She said the skiers were awesome, taking the time to pose for photos and to autograph my nieces’ and nephew’s ski jackets and helmets. Not just the B teamers, but the biggest stars like Bodie Miller and Julia Mancuso – two of the best skiers in the world! My sister now has a cool family photo with Bodie Miller in it! Read More
Erie Mine, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska
I mentioned yesterday that the buildings at Kennicott aren’t actually mine buildings but a copper mill. The Erie Mine is actually one of the mines that fed that mill. Read More
