The current issue (July/August 2025) of Alaska Magazine features a spread of Mark Kelley images in its Portfolio section. Along with some of my favorite images I wrote a short story of how I came to pursue the path of a nature/wildlife photographer. I knew it was a good decision as in 1978 Alaska Magazine helped jump start my career by publishing one of my all-time favorite images on its cover while I was a still a junior in college. Thank you Alaska Magazine!
