2014 delivered some fantastic photographic journeys. I browsed through the year’s photos and relived some of the good memories. I selected 100 images that were notable to me in some way, for a variety of reasons. My favorite trips were the self-powered adventures in Alaska’s Arctic, where the raw and rugged wilderness landscape of Alaska is as…
As the year comes to a close, I’m selling a few lenses that I no longer use. Instead of going to Ebay, I thought I’d post them here first. Both lenses are suitable for aurora photography, so if you are looking for a lens to capture the northern lights, these may work for you. Both…
During an October photo tour that I guide in Alaska’s Arctic, one of my type II flash cards got corrupted during a Lightroom import. I recently received it in the mail from www.datarecovery.com and had a chance to look at the pictures contained within. However, that process did not turn out to be a simple one. When attempting to…

In mid September I traveled to Western Alaska on journey the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. Here is a selection of favorites from that trip.
I started this blog some 7 years ago. It has served as a great platform to share both my experiences and the photos that are the result of my ventures in Alaska’s wilderness landscape. It’s hard to believe it has been that long. Writing in this venue is an odd thing. Often, I’m not really sure…
I just returned from a photo trip to the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and my plans to access this amazing area took a delightful turn. Instead of hiking some 65-70 miles round trip through some seriously wet and difficult tundra travel, I caught a ride in and out by bush plane, thanks to pilots…
