“Once Upon Alaska” Opening Spread…Image 2860

I shot this image in 1976 as a photojournalism student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). During my four years of undergraduate work at UAF, I would always skip the first week of school and head to Denali National Park for a week of shooting.  Over the past 35 years, I have spent months in Denali but this is the one and only opportunity I have had to photograph a cow and calf moose in Wonder Lake with Denali (Mt.

Announcing upcoming release of Mark’s latest book – Image 2859

I have not published a new book since 2007 when “Alaska: A Photographic Excursion” came out.  I have always wanted to do a kids book and started seriously thinking about it the last four or five years.  I wanted the book to use my best photos of Alaska and be fun to read and look at.  My go-to-guy for words is my buddy Nick Jans.  His rhyming verses make you smile, and together we express our deep passion for Alaska in “Once Upon Alaska”.  We hope it deserves a place on your coffee table ...

Anan Creek supports one of the largest pink salmon runs in Alaska which in turn supports a bear population of some 50 black bears and 20 brown bears . Anan is one of the few streams in Alaska where one ...

Downtown, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2855

This is the view from my home on the top of Starr Hill. I think it is one of the beautiful views I can image of any city and am lucky to wake up every morning taking all of this in. This winter has been wet and warm at sea level. Eaglecrest, the local ski area, which up in the mountains is getting good coverage and skiing has been a lot of fun. The top has 135 inches (11 feet) of all natural snow and the base depth is at 35 inches (three feet) of all natural snow. Thank you for visiting. ...
