Admiralty Island, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2983

Admiralty Island, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2983

I shot this cloudburst over Admiralty Island from an Allen Marine whale watching boat approaching the southern end of Shelter Island. In the photo business we call it God Light. Photographers live for this moment of brilliance. This image illustrates the month of July in my 2017 Juneau ...
Orca Rainbow, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2982

Orca Rainbow, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2982

This is a special image. In my 35 years of photographing whales in Southeast Alaska, this is the first and only time I encountered a full “rainbow blow”. During the orca’s exhale, its entire blow turned into a rainbow. Humpback whales have much taller blows, and I have seen partial blows turn ...

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 ...
“Fogged Over” Auke Bay, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2981

“Fogged Over” Auke Bay, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2981

Recently, I moved from downtown Juneau (Starr Hill) to out the road about 15 miles. I think I have one of the most beautiful commutes in the world.  I shot this sunrise lighting up the fog in Auke Bay just two-miles into my seven-mile commute.  Juneau’s new state museum, which opened in 2016, ...
