Ice Cave, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
It is hard to get a sense of scale, but this was a huge cave – the ceiling was a good 8 feet in height. It followed the small creek over to the right out of this frame. I found this last Friday – the bright sunny skies helped illuminate the ice inside the cave with a beautiful blue glow.
I photographed this from outside the cave looking in. These caves can be fun to explore, but this one was way to sketchy, there is no way I would enter a cave like this – it looked like huge hunks of ice could fall at any momment!
I glanced outside just a few minutes ago and noticed the overnight fog and rain had coated Janine’s tulips with some wonderful water drops. Just about the time I set my camera up, a little bit of sunlight started to break through the fog perfectly illuminating the flowers – it looked like they were glowing red!
This is hot off the press, just a few minutes old, unless of course you are reading this hours or days later.

It feels good to be done with the processing, captioning and key-wording our photos from last winter’s travels. Now we can send them off to agencies and update our website – finished just in time for summer, so we can make room for a new batch of photos!
Paradise Creek, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
Thanks to some challenging water crossings, this area gets few, if any visitors in the summer. I have skied up here in the winter, and thought the area was beautiful, but have never been able to get up here in the summer. Thanks to some low water levels, Janine and I along with some friends of ours were finally able to get up here yesterday for some scouting.
I think the area has some real potential. I love the clear water, something you don’t see much of around here thanks to the numerous glaciers. Glacier rivers tend to be very muddy looking thanks to the silt. This is looking up an unnamed valley where an unnamed creek flows in from the right. Paradise Creek is coming in from the left. We were able to make it another mile or two before steep cliffs and swift water blocked our progress. It was a great day! And now I know it is a place worth returning to for good light!
Las Vegas Strip, Nevada.
Well if I’m going to write about my successful photos, it is only fair that I write about my unsuccessful ones as well.
I have plenty of photos that have never, or rarely sell, so why single out this one? For a few reasons: not only was it somewhat expensive to produce, but at the time, I really thought I had a winner. To add insult to injury, I think I may have missed out on even a far bigger marketing opportunity, but more on that later.Read More
