A year in Review: 100 Favorite Images from 2011
Years ago, I started sharing a collection of 100 favorite pictures from my year’s worth of photography. It’s a bit more expansive than the top ten or twelve, and seems to me more reflective of what I have been up to.
2011 turned out to be a year of less photography, with business reorganization and some personal time off usurping shutter clicks. But I was still able to stay in the game and make some fun imagery. Cheers to 2011!
Another absolutely stunning collection of photos for 2011. You are a great ambassador for the state of Alaska for showing the world all the beauty that is up there to behold. As much as I love the majestic moose at Denali, the polar bear standing on one foot is very, very cool. Can’t see the ear buds, but it looks like he’s line dancing to tunes. Probably getting ready for New Years Eve. Thanks again for sharing and have a great holiday!
Outstanding collection of images! I wish you a successful & prosperous 2012.
Jon and Bruce, thanks so much… A fruitful 2012 to both of you. I’m off to the Virgin Islands for a week or so of sun. Timely, since it is minus 30 degrees in Fairbanks!
WOW fabulous work Patrick, I just want to follow you around for a year. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Patrick More images to inspire one on in this crazy world. While we in South Africa do not have the vistas you have in Alaska it makes me work hard to get better landscapes and seascapes. Great selection, maybe we will see you sometime again. I see you are due to do more trips to Antarctica, one under Hugh’s leadership, that should great.
Regards Emlyn & Liz
Great images Patrick, hope your trip to South America was fruitful image wise. Loved all your faves from 2011, incredible shots of the northern lights,polar bears & foxes my fave I think is the bull moose by wonder lake & Denali in the background-Awesome!
May 2012 be just as fruitful for you!
Shalom & blessings for the coming year!

Sue, you are so correct. The review process is quite the picture story with many memories. Thanks for appreciating my work.
Thanks Emyln and Phyllis, cheers to you in 2012.
Chuck, thanks for the well-wishes. The same back to you.
Stumbled across your site and am in awe of your images and travels. What a wonderful way to spend your days capturing these beautiful images of places many of us will never see in person. Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy every moment of where life takes you 😉
Kris, Thanks for your kind comments and for appreciating my photography.

I just noticed I’m in your 2011 favorites “flock of western sandpipers” photo. I’m the one with the backpack, and the other guy is someone I work with. It was taken during the Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival in Cordova. Thanks for posting it!
Hey Sean,
That’s funny, how did you run across the picture? I remember that day, those birds are fantastic!
