Wild Wolves

Wolf emerging from the forest in Denali

Recently I have received a few email about wolves, and I thought why not do a series of posts on my favorite subject.  At times, I have invested large amounts of time looking for and trying to photograph wolves.  I would often return to a particular spot day after day and wait for the entire day in the hopes of spotting a wolf.  Without a doubt, this time spent has lead to some of my most memorable experiences and favorites images.  I hope to share some of them over the next few days.

Seward Visitor Guide

I promise, this is the last of the new covers!  It had been a couple of months since I posted a cover photo on the blog, so I did have some catching up to do. 

This is current year’s Seward Chamber of Commerce Visitor Guide for Seward, Alaska.  The Chamber was one of my very first customers many years ago, and their cover is one I’m always proud to be a part of!

2007 Milepost

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.  Read More

Humpback Whale in Seward

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

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
