I just returned from a trip to photograph the brown bears in Katmai National Park and a rapid change of gears has me headed for Arctic Alaska, in pursuit of polar bears, aurora borealis and Arctic wildlife. I’m co-guiding a group of photographers, who are very excited for what lies ahead in the next 10 days. I’ll try to share a few pics along the way depending on connectivity and time.
While this brown bear appears to be staring me down, he was far more concerned with the action that had happened behind me between a couple other bears. I just happened to be in a good spot to capture his deliberate look.
