Grizzly bear sow and cub, Denali National Park, Alaska.
This is a photo from my trip to Denali earlier this summer. It was a great trip -lots of bears and wolves, two of my favorites as you probably know by now.
I pre-scheduled this as I headed out the door early yesterday morning to make the long drive back up there for more photography. I’m not taking a laptop, so this will be the last post until Tuesday.
Former Alaska Senator Ted-Stevens weighing salmon at the Seward Silver Salmon Derby, Seward, Alaska.
This photo dates back to 1998 – a couple years before I became a professional photographer. I walked down to check out the Silver Salmon Derby action with my camera and flash, and was surprised to see Senator Ted Stevens weighing salmon as a volunteer. It wasn’t a figurehead kind of role for show, he was actually handling the salmon just like myself and all the other people who would volunteer there during the week – no media, photographers or film crews in sight.
I thought it was pretty cool to see one of the most powerful people in the United States volunteering at our little town’s salmon derby – I had to get a photo. When he saw me positioning myself for the photo, he turned and pretended to throw a salmon at me – that is the photo above. He stopped at the last second holding on to the fish – gave me a quick smile, then proceeded to go about his business.
When I read about his passing yesterday I thought about this moment – dusted off and scanned the old slide and decided I would post it here. Rest in peace Senator Stevens.
Cover - Endless Vacation Magazine
It is an honor to have an image on the cover of Endless Vacation – a large travel magazine based in Mexico, so I thought I would do a little shameless self promotion blog post to share the news.
Las Vegas – this has got to be the polar opposite of photographing brown bears in a remote Alaska camp!
Brown bear cub, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
This little cub might look like he has a headache, but after watching him off and on for the last 4 days, I can say he has a pretty fun life of climbing logs, playing with sticks, playing with mom, nursing and eating – I don’t think he has a headache!
I just returned from my 4 day Alaska bear and puffin photo tour and I had a blast! I knew we would have lots of bears – males, sows, cute cubs and even puffin, but I didn’t know I would have such a fun group. Great stories and lots of laughs, it was really a fun time!
I will be offering two, 4 day tours with a limit of 6 people each next year around August 6 through the 12 with the possibility of doing the entire time for someone who would like more time with the bears. Stay tuned for more details in the upcoming weeks.
Richard, Mike, Irene, Pam, Wilson and myself and the end of a fun tour.
Brown bear cub standing on his hind legs, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon I began my Alaska bear and puffin photo tour and in just the first afternoon it has already been an awesome trip! Great group of people and lots of bears! Sow with cubs, males – all real close, we even hand a sow nurse a young cub right in front of us! Gotta keep it short, hopefully I will have time for another quick post while I’m over here this week, otherwise we I get back to Seward later this week.

Our campsite on the White Rim Trail last Fall, Canyonlands National Park, near Moab, Utah.
When we were looking to do the White Rim Trail last Fall, I had trouble finding good information on the different campgrounds along the trail, or other useful information. So when we were doing the trail, I tried to take photos of the different campsites along the way, and Janine took that information and prepared what I think it an informative article that could be helpful to other photographers and visitors. You can find that article here: White Rim Trail
