Photos and stories about digital photography in Alaska by professional photographer Patrick Endres
Category Archives: Publications I’m on vacation in the Virgin Islands. Yup, a rough life. Fairbanks was minus -30 degrees when I left, and even though I really like winter, the white sand and aqua water will be a fantastic break. A few photos in the making but nothing too serious. While I’m gone, I scheduled this post of…  I found out that the new year started with one of the photos published in my new 2012 calendar “Alaska: Profiles in Nature“, was featured on the search website: www.bing.com. It was a polar bear picture that I took a few years ago in Alaska’s arctic. Pretty cool.  A few months ago I posted some cover options for my 2013 Wall Calendar, and many of you offered helpful comments and suggestions on design and layout. To say thank you, I’m offering a 20% savings on the 2012 Profiles in Nature wall calendar if purchased by December 16, 2011. Orders can be placed through…  Once again, thanks to all of you who chimed in with your comments and suggestions. Below is the final version and the end of this post series – time to get back to other imagery. Final because it is time to move on to other pressing projects. Final because I think it is better than…  To all of you who were so kind to comment and offer your feedback on the cover of my 2013 Alaska – Profiles in Nature calendar – a big thank you. I have incorporated some of your suggestions and here is the new version. Of course, nothing is ever final until it goes off to…  When the day came that I was asked to plan more than one year ahead of time, I thought: something has gone wrong. But some things are inevitable. As it turns out, before I’ve really hit the sales period for the new calendar I released this year, it’s time to get the next one to… My new website is live: www.alaskaphotographics.com Into the cloud After many many months of work, my new website is finally live. So what did all the work involve? Mainly, it was editing 40,000 image files, sifting them for content relevance, age, and overall quality, spell check, adding headlines, and basic keyword restructure and QC (although…  My blogging life has been usurped by the inertia of my new website, finally moving into its final stage of going public. And that should happen in a few days or so. To the observer, the look has not changed greatly, but it operates under a completely different software. I’ve tried my best to replicate…  For those photographers out there who have your camera equipment insured, you might appreciate this little bit of economic redemption. Back in 2009 I took a remote river trip in Alaska’s arctic which turned out to be a magnificent venture on many counts, and it included some equipment casualties. My Canon 5D Mark II and…  In Alaska, the heart of the dog mushing season is now. Both the Yukon Quest and the Fur Rondy races are completed and the North American and Iditarod are beginning soon. I presume this timing was suited for a recent story in the American Profile, which is an insert magazine in newspapers across the country….  Eagle Trail Fire Early this summer, as Alaska was transitioning into warmer weather, the dry conditions gave way to many forest fires across the state. You may have remembered the entry I made on the Eagle Trail forest fire. Since smoke is not a friend to a landscape photographer (in general) I decided to go…  Artwork at the Fairbanks Airport Last month two of my photos were installed at the Fairbanks International Airport. They were 3.5 x 10 feet in length as canvas wraps. I have not seen them yet, since the framer made a direct delivery, and I won’t be flying until later November. If you are in the…  Last year I asked the advice of many of my blog readers for input on the selection of a cover image for my 2011 Fairbanks and Interior Alaska Wall Calendar. Many thanks to you all for your votes as it was the above image that won by a long shot. It is that time of…  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…
