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 ...
Bald Eagle and Crow, Glacier Bay National Park, AK # 2982

Bald Eagle and Crow, Glacier Bay National Park, AK # 2982

Crows like to harass bald eagles. While visiting Johns Hopkins Inlet in Glacier Bay we came across this crow dive-bombing an eagle. Every once in a while the crow would tire and take a seat next to the eagle, before starting the game all over again. This cycle continued for quite a while until ...

Humpback Whale Flukes, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2976

Humpback whales spend, I imagine, over 90% of their lifetime under water. The time spent above water is mostly dedicated to breathing and diving. The thrilling behaviors, or what I call the X-games of whale behavior, are really very, very rare. With extreme luck does one get to see behaviors ...
