For those of you who don’t know, I’m currently working on a new Iditarod book. It’s called “Icons of the Iditarod” Iconic mushers, volunteers, dogs, places, events and even gear and FOOD! I have to tell you that working on this new Icons book has been a lot of tedious, but VERY rewarding work the past…
Sit back and enjoy 60 seconds of images of April in Alaska. No words, no f-stops, just photography.
A question I’m asked often while shooting the Iditarod is, “how many photos do you take?” During this year’s race, and really any recent year, I shoot A LOT of photos. But it’s not how many I shoot that matters, it’s really how many photos do I keep. That’s the bigger question! Of any one subject…

A few of my favorite images from March. No explanation, no text, no f-stops and shutter speeds. Just an old fashion slide show. Enjoy 90 seconds in Alaska with me.
This version of the “Last Month in Photos” slide show is a bit different than usual. I did not do much shooting in February other than assignments and one day of fun, stock photography. Mostly I was extra busy with office work gearing up for upcoming workshops, the Iditarod and tax season. Soooo, this show…
It’s THAT time of year again. Bohemian Waxwing birds gather in huge flocks all over Anchorage and literally raid and pluck the Mountain Ash trees free of most all their berries. It’s quite a sight to see…and hear. They are constantly flitting all over the sky from one tree to another. It seems when someone…
