Alaska Railroad 

Yesterday I did an assignment for the Alaska Railroad.  Whether it involves riding the train, or following it in a helicopter, Alaska Railroad assignments are always one of my favorites!  The scenery between here and Anchorage is so beautiful that it really makes my job much easier.  Now using multiple flashes in a dome rail car where reflections show up where you least expect – that isn’t as easy.

 Janine and I spent a very short night in Anchorage and then rode the train back to Seward today.  I think that is the first time I have been on board where I wasn’t shooting – now I can see why that trip is so popular – it was really fun and relaxing!

Two big thumbs up for the U.S. Alpine Ski Team!

Bodie Miller

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
