Antarctica photos
I’m playing a little catch up and processing the Antarctica photos from my January trip to Antarctica. Here is a gallery of 75 from that journey.
Winter camp and the aurora borealis
This is another photo from my recent trip into the Brooks Range to photograph the last show of aurora before summer. I was using a wireless remote to attempt some self portrait work, but the long time in the subzero temps caused some problems and it quite working. So I used a regular remote in…
Northern lights in Alaska’s Brooks Range
It is hard to resist the lure of Alaska’s arctic. It’s immense, wide open, unpopulated spaces, pure white snow, and rugged mountain vistas are the gift of wilderness that refreshes the soul. For me it was the last venture and quest for some aurora borealis photography before the darkness is consumed by constant sunlight. Even now,…
Northern Lights gallery -2013 St. Patrick’s Day
As daylight floods back in Alaska’s north, the dark skies are diminishing quickly. The season for aurora borealis photography is waning, but there could be at least one last good show this weekend, if all of that energy recently blown off the sun actually hits earth. There is currently a middle latitude aurora activity watch in effect,…
Vote for a 2015 Fairbanks Alaska Calendar Cover
This is part two of the former post. Since I could not put two polls in one post, I had to separate them out. Finicky software. So, sorry for the redundancy.

Believe it or not, I’m already working on the 2015 Alaska Calendars. Here are three cover options I’m considering for each of my Alaska Calendars. The 2015 ALASKA Profiles in…
Arctic photos – Alaska
With each successive year, I become increasingly more fascinated, intrigued and concerned about the the arctic itself and the inhabitants that live in that beautiful but austere landscape. I was proud to participate in a book project over the past few years that sought to help bring public awareness to some sensitive areas in the…
Come to me Aurora…
Come to me aurora … it never obeyed … but if it did!
Sitka Alaska Herring Fishery
Each year, schools of Pacific Herring arrive in Sitka in late March to early April to spawn in the nearby waters. I spent a few days there recently but the weather and fish conditions never timed themselves in my favor. The photo shows conditions not favorable for aerial photography, which was my hope. One singular…
Aurora curtains
While the clouds and snow were abundant during a recent photo tour I was guiding in Alaska’s arctic, the skies opened up and poured out the green cascading curtains of the northern lights along with chilly air that dipped to -34 below at the coldest hour of the night. The aurora show went on for…
