“Once Upon Alaska” 19th Spread…Image 2878

Jul 2, 2014

It was a beautiful January day and I was dying to go outside to photograph but I was waiting for a business call from San Francisco at 1PM.  Once I got the call I asked my friend to make it quick.  This worked for him as he had another business meeting scheduled.  After the meeting was over I drove out to a frozen Mendenhall Lake. I walked across the ice to get a good view of some goats hanging out.  I was in position by 2PM. I got this shot before 3PM when the Alaska winter sun went down. I called up my friend and told him about the shoot.  All he could say was “your business meetings sure are different than mine”. This image is included as the19th spread in my children’s book, “Once Upon Alaska”.  Thank you for visiting.
