Every once in a while I get a little feedback from a photo buyer and let me place an emphasis on “once in a while”. Yesterday, I received an e-mail from a designer (ChadMicahel Morrisette) who purchased a photo for use in a store front window display. The photo–a snow covered boreal forest of birch...

Since I’m currently traveling to Antarctica, I thought I would schedule this post which includes 100 favorite photos from 2009. Of course, this is a highly subjective process, but for one reason or another, these caught my eye when I was reviewing the year. You can view the Flash gallery on my website at 2009...

I’ve been reviewing some files from the summer, and thought I’d share this image of Cascade glacier, taken from a rock island prominence in Barry Arm, in Alaska’s Prince William Sound. The sedimentary layers reveal and amazing pattern of lines and the surface rock has been ground quite smoothly from the ancient work of an...

The pursuit of northern lights photography led me to the purchase of Canon’s 24mm 1.4L, and the following updated version II of the same lens. My comments are derived from experience with this lens in the field and are not a comprehensive review by any measure. Here is what Canon has to say about this...

I was all ready to photograph the Gemenid meteor shower last night, but clouds moved in around midnight, which was a disappointment. However, on Sunday morning, I woke up to a faint aurora display, directly over my house. I grabbed my camera and took a few experimental shots. I say experimental because I was testing...

First of all I updated the slideshow header on the blog, but you might not see the new images until you hit the F5 Key.
We recently photographed some artwork for one of Fairbanks’ very creative and talented artists, Karin Franzen. She works in the medium of fabric, but don’t be fooled by the term fabric....

While I spend my share of time traveling to exotic locations to photograph, I still contend that photographing in one’s backyard is viable for the average photographer. Now I confess that I have a fine backyard for this–8 acres of boreal forest, and not all backyards are the same. But, you don’t need acres really,...

Time to take a little bend in the road of still photography and explore some of the newly bundled features in today’s quickly evolving digital cameras-HD video. Since the inclusion of HD video in the Canon 5D Mark II, I’ve enjoyed playing around with it a bit, with an emphasis on “playing”. It is less...

For a few years now I’ve had some photos on display at the Alaska Coffee Roasting Company in Fairbanks. If you are passing through Fairbanks, they have fresh daily roasted coffee and it some of the best I’ve encountered, and that includes many locations around the nation. In November of each year, I refresh the...

Snow is falling in Fairbanks right now, and autumn drifted by a few strong weeks ago. The change of seasons brought this photo to mind. Some argue that Alaska has two seasons, some argue three, few argue four. Spring happens very fast, as does autumn, and the leaves can burst forth in spring faster than...
