1978 My First Cover – Alaska Magazine

1978 My First Cover – Alaska Magazine

The upcoming June 2020 issue of Alaska Magazine will include three Mark Kelley images. Alaska Magazine sends advance copies of the magazine to contributors long before it arrives in your mailbox or local newsstand. While paging through my advance copy I noticed that the magazine is celebrating 85 years of publications. Their six-page spread features one cover and one inside image from each decade. I was excited to find that the Seventies features my cover image on the March 1978 issue. I ...
Hogsback, Juneau, Alaska #3348

Hogsback, Juneau, Alaska #3348

For a second sunny weekend in a row I found myself hiking up the ski slopes at Juneau’s Eaglecrest Ski Area with some friends. As demonstrated by the two skiers hiking above Heavenly Valley (far left), there is plenty of room to honor social distancing. We hung out wandering around the ridges high above the valley floor. Our return trip was a fast sled ride down to the parking lot. Because of the coronavirus the ski area closed early about three weeks ago. A big thanks to Eaglecrest for ...
Hilde Dam Cabin, Eaglecrest, Juneau, Alaska #3347

Hilde Dam Cabin, Eaglecrest, Juneau, Alaska #3347

My wife and our two sons demonstrate social distancing while standing on the snow-covered roof of the new public cabin, called the Hilda Dam Cabin, at Juneau’s Eaglecrest Ski Area. Our sons respectfully stay away from our home during this most unusual period of self-isolation. The last two weekends we have been holding family get-togethers in Alaska’s great outdoors where it is easy to practice social distancing. This past Sunday we walked up to the top of Eaglecrest for lunch and slid our ...
Chilkat Range, Alaska #3346

Chilkat Range, Alaska #3346

The last two weeks have been mostly clear in Juneau, Alaska. The sunny days have picked up the spirits of all of us, while self-isolating and dealing with this upside down, inside out coronavirus world. I shot this sunset last night looking at the Chilkat Range across Lynn Canal from 30-mile on the Glacier Highway. If you love snow, the Juneau area has had a wonderful winter with the local ski area, Eaglecrest, getting snow for over fifty days in a row. Stay safe and healthy. Thank you for ...
LeConte Glacier, Alaska #3345

LeConte Glacier, Alaska #3345

A small cloud break at sunset lights up the ocean behind an iceberg from the LeConte Glacier. LeConte Glacier is the most southern tidewater glacier in North America. I have photographed every tidewater glacier in Alaska’s Inside Passage and the LeConte is one of my favorites. I took this photo last year while hosting six photographers on a photo adventure in the Wrangell area to photograph bears at Anan Creek, humpback whales, and the LeConte Glacier. I am offering the exact same trip ...
Bear Cub, Anan Creek, Alaska #3344

Bear Cub, Anan Creek, Alaska #3344

Besides having so many adult bears roaming around at Anan Creek, there are usually a bunch of first year cubs as well. I counted six cubs one year, just hanging out around the viewing platform. As much as I love taking pictures, I use my passion for photography as a way to experience the world. And the world I love the most are Alaska’s wild places filled with wildlife, like Anan Creek. I took this photo last year while hosting six photographers on a photo adventure in Wrangell, Alaska. We ...
