Sunrise on Aialik Glacier and Aialik Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, near Seward, Alaska.
I’m out the door this morning for a quick over night assignment – thought I would share a quick photo before leaving. This is another one from my Kenai Fjords National Park Photo tour last summer.
Colorado River, near Moab, Utah.
Well, the plan for today was to pick up our RV trailer in Southern California and to begin driving toward Nevada / Utah for a few weeks of photography. But, on Monday we cancelled our airline reservations so that we could spend more time getting caught up in the office.
Before I go any further – don’t feel sorry for us, we do still plan on flying to Hawaii for a few weeks later this month. We have had numerous photo request for Hawaii images over the years, and have never photographed that beautiful state, so it will be fun filling this void in our coverage!
But, it is still weird not heading somewhere in the Western U.S. I think for at least 12 years or more, we have always gone somewhere out West during September / October, whether is was Yellowstone, Moab or Zion. Frankly, this is such a wonderful time of year down there – and the perfect weather is a nice escape from the rain we tend to receive here in Alaska this time of year.
But, our business continues to evolve as we diversify. Part of the diversification is into video – 3D and straight HD. In fact, a major motion agency, Corbis has agreed to market my HD clips, and two other video agencies have agreed to market my 3D clips. Getting up to speed on video has been some learning process and taken a bit longer then I expected. I must admit, I have really enjoyed the new challenge, and the creative options offered with video have been enlightening to say the least. So getting my new footage off to these agencies has now become a priority, along with getting our new stills from this summer off to market – this seemed more important then capturing more images right now.
So, for the next month expect more Alaska images here on the blog – and maybe I’ll have time to get back to writing some more in-depth posts. Then, start watching for some Hawaii coverage – that should be some contrast!
Brown / Grizzly Bear digging for clams, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
I like this one and as the photographer, that is really all that matters I suppose, but I’m curious what others think – do you like it or hate it? I’m thinking most people won’t like it, but maybe I’m wrong.
Brown / Grizzly Bear, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
I realized all the photos I have been posting from my week with the brown bears of Lake Clark National Park have been more of the animal in the landscape which tends to be my favorite type of wildlife image. So today, I thought I would do a nice close up of a beautiful, big brown bear!
Speaking of bears, our August photo tour has sold out, and there are just a few spots left for our June bear photo tour for next summer – for more information see: bear and puffin photography tour.
Bald eagle, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
I gotta admit, most of my time during my bear and puffin photo tour this past August was spent with… well, bears and puffin. 🙂 But, there are lots of other things to see there including this bald eagle.
Dall Sheep in Polychrome Pass, Denali National Park, Alaska.
Over the almost two weeks in Denali this fall I sure spent a lot with the sheep and caribou – hard not to spend time with such magnificent animals in beautiful scenery!
Northern lights over Kenai Lake, Alaska.
This was about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday night – what a great show! I had been out the night before until about 2:00 a.m., and didn’t get anything, so it was nice to have some success this night. Since this is typically a winter event – getting a reflection in unfrozen water was kind of a nice bonus.
Cover of the October, 2011 Alaska Magazine!
I have had so many other photos to share this summer that I have avoided posting some of my recent covers – most of them travel guide related publications. But… as an Alaskan, there is no ignoring having a photo on the cover of Alaska Magazine! It is always a wonderful honor to say the least! I think this is my third cover for the magazine.
This is a photo of the Tongass National Forest near Ketchikan, Alaska. Here is the original photo without the text: Tongass National Forest photo.
