I took this image a few years ago in Katmai National Park, and it gets some attention for the cute factor I’m sure. These little brown bear cubs of the year were playful and fun to watch, as is often the case with very young bears. I also find the image interesting technically because it…
For me to leave Alaska in the summer for a chunk of time is rare. I did so in July, in part, to serve as photography guiding staff on a voyage in Svalbard. On this wonderful trip I accrued a few very notable nature encounters. One in particular ranks up there in what I have…
It’s a rare experience for me to end up with photos that show the back-end side of work, of framing a picture and working in the field. Amy, an avid photographer who was on the Arrigetch trip, shared some shots of me taking pictures so I thought it would be fun to show both sides–the…
Once again, thanks to all of you who chimed in with your comments and suggestions. Below is the final version and the end of this post series – time to get back to other imagery. Final because it is time to move on to other pressing projects. Final because I think it is better than…

The colors in the high country of Denali National Park last week were stunning. The grizzly bear photography was less stunning, simply due to lack of opportunity on my short visit. However, this is the one scene I photographed for just a few minutes. In spite of the harsh light, the colors revive the image…
