White Pass Railroad, Skagway, Alaska – Image 2572

I try to put a photo of the White Pass Railroad in each of my Southeast Alaska calendars. It is kind of a challenge to me. There have been 15 Southeast Alaska Calendars and there have been 15 different images of the train. I shot this photo from a helicopter as the train crossed the border ...

Black-legged Kittiwakes, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska – Image 2571

Black-legged kittiwakes by the thousands nest on the steep cliffs next to glaciers throughout the park. I shot this photo from my kayak. I find it very difficult to shoot from a kayak while paddling by myself. When I am paddling, I usually need to shoot and visa-versa when I am shooting I ...

Hubbard Glacier, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska – Image 2567

I was working on my final shoot for my Alaska book and needed a couple of good photos of Hubbard Glacier just outside Yakutat. It was early September and the Yakutat airport was fogged for my morning arrival. The day was just gorgeous and I could not wait around for another opportunity. I ...
