Category Archives: Publications It’s been a long time since I’ve photographed in Alaska, 4 months to be exact. International travel and surgery have kept me busy but it felt good to venture into one of my favorite places over the weekend, the Brooks Range, a massive range that arcs across Alaska’s arctic. I was doing an assignment for...  Its time for a Sierra Club Calendar Submission. I used to submit to them for many years when I shot film, but there was a huge gap in time for them to catch up to the digital world, and just last year they began accepting submissions of digital photography. While that was a big step...  On Monday, March 8, at 7:00 PM, I’ll be giving a presentation in Fairbanks for the Arctic Audubon Society’s March program along with colleagues Hugh Rose and David Shaw. I went to Antarctica with both Hugh and David, great traveling companions, photographers and extremely knowledgeable natural history guides. Our presentation will focus on stories and...  I’ve been invited to be the featured artist for the month of March at the Alaska House Gallery in Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaska House is a fine example of Interior Alaska’s log cabin artistry, designed and hand-built in 1939. There are oak floors, high ceilings and leaded windows in the three white-washed gallery rooms, hand...  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...  The access and viability today for personal, desktop publishing is none other than remarkable. Back when I was saving my pennies to come to Alaska at age 17, I worked in a print shop, operating an ink press. Typesetting was still done with copy paper and wax, blue pencils, and believe it or not, rulers....  A big thanks to everyone who offered their comments and opinions on a cover choice for my 2011 calendar. The blending of photography, art, rack appeal, and marketing present a challenge. I went back and forth on the selection, but ended up with my first choice, and the one that garnished the most votes by...  I’m interrupting my string of posts on Antarctica to ask for a little help from my visually acute freinds out there in cyberland. Its time for me to wrap up my 2011 Fairbanks and Interior Alaska wall calendar and get it off to the printer. I’ve narrowed the cover down to two images. One winter,...  This would describe much of my work over the last few weeks. Html code more specifically. I’ve had a searchable website since 2002, and a retrospective glance leaves me with a feeling that I reinvented the wheel in some respects. But, the wheel was very hard to find back then, which is a telling tale...  I’m guilty of tight compositions. It’s a by-product of the school of thinking that frowns on cropping and feels that a single image needs to be self contained and compositionally defined when you push the shutter button. It’s a school of thought I no longer adhere to, but won’t get into that subject right now.... |
