Rafting, Mendenhall River, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2367

Rafting, Mendenhall River, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2367

For me this is a classic photo of the Mendenhall Glacier. The photo'smutliple levels or layers make it work. I have a stunning photo of theglacier, and then the green forest naturally separates the river and therafters from the glacier. The whole photo flows from the glacier down tothe river out to the viewer. This photo can be found on page 34 in myJuneau Portrait II book.

Juneau Docks, Southeast Alaska – Image 2366

This is one of my favorite photos because it happens to feature my two boysand one of their good friends. They decided to jump from the docks onesunny day as a way to celebrate the last day of school. They asked me alongto take the photo. What makes this photo successful is the timing. The twoboys look like they are running across the lines attached to the dock. Thisphoto can be found illustrating the month of June in my 2005 JuneauCalendar.

Killer Whale Fins, Lynn Canal, Southeast Alaska – Image 2365

Killer Whale Fins, Lynn Canal, Southeast Alaska – Image 2365

What I love about this photo is dark ominous tone of these sleathly huntersrising from the deep. Killer whales are refered to as the wolf packs ofthe sea and are the ocean's apex pedators...feeding the highest on the foodchain. They got their name by whalers who watched them kill much largerwhales and named them "killer of whales" which got shortened to killerwhales. This photo can be found on page 59 in my whale book called Alaska'sWatchable Whales. Camera: Nikon F5, Lens: 35-70mm ...

Humpback WhaleTail, Icy Strait, Southeast Alaska – Image 2364

This photo shows a humpback behavior called tail lobbing. During taillobbing, a humpback may hold as much as a third of its lower body (whalesare approximately 40 to 50 feet long) above the water waving its tail orfluke (usually 15 feet across) in the air, and from this position the whaleusually pounds the water repeatedly. This photo can be found on page 1 orthe title page in my whale book called Alaska's Watchable Whales. Camera:Nikon F4, Lens: 300mm f/24 Nikkor, Film: 35mm Fuji ...

Humpback Whale Fluke, Icy Strait, Southeast Alaska – Image 2363

What I love about this photo is that it combines two Alaska classics...thetail of a humpback whale backgrounded by the rugged snowcapped mountains ofSoutheast Alaska. Being able to see the water droplets falling from thetail is an added plus. This photo can be found on page 80 in my whale bookcalled Alaska's Watchable Whales.
