I am pleased that one of my images has been selected for Alaska Positive 2016. Congratulations to Juneau’s own Chris Miller for winning the Juror’s Choice Award. There were 248 submissions and the juror selected 35 photos from 28 photographers for the final show. Some of you may remember that it placed first in the Alaska Airlines Magazine annual photo contest this year. I call this photo “OMG Glacier Calve”: As the Johns Hopkins Glacier calves, a kayaker paddles away from the massive falling ice blocks. The long lens that I was using compresses one’s distance perspective and makes things seem closer together than they really are. It seems unbelievable, but to my surprise the kayaker just appeared in front of the glacier as it started its massive calve. The kayaker was not hurt or even in danger.
