Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

Fun Friday: Got Milk?
Today’s “Fun Friday” post … an intimate moment with a Brown Bear sow and her cub: When the little one’s hungry, it’s time to be fed … even if you were busy clamming on the tidal flat! Did you know that bear cubs will “purr” when nursing? I was totally amazed the first time I […]

Fresh Clams … Yum!
In yesterday’s post (“Bears on the Beach”), I spoke of the clamming activities that the brown bears of Hallo Bay (Alaska) participate in, during low tides. Today’s post includes a couple of images of brown bears as they clammed the shores of Hallo Bay: Watching a brown bear locate and dig up the razor clams […]

Bears on the Beach
From my Alaska travels, here are a couple of images of Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) cruising the beaches of Hallo Bay: Why do they travel on the beaches? One reason is that often they are looking for a good place for some low-tide clamming for razor clams. In other instances, they are likely using the […]

Red Fox
Today’s post features a Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) that was wandering along the beach at Hallo Bay (Alaska) when I was photographing Brown Bears, a few years ago. It is quite common to see red foxes at Hallo Bay, especially in the spring. This beautiful animal was not at all hindered by the presence of […]

Fun Friday: Trouble Looking to Happen
Uh, oh … here comes trouble! Spring bear cubs are always a joy to watch! With so much energy, they seem to stop playing only to eat or sleep! This trio of spring brown bear cubs was photographed at the Hallo Bay Bear Camp in Alaska, a few years ago. Where’s mom? Well she is […]

Get A Leg Up
Now, don’t you just want to take this little guy home with you? :o) I photographed this young Brown Bear cub a few years ago during a photography trip to Alaska’s Hallo Bay Bear Camp (Katmai National Park). This young cub’s mom, and a sibling, were beachcombing at low tide, clamming for razor clams. While […]

New DisneyFilm … A Closer Look
If you saw the preview of the new DisneyFilm bear movie that I posted the other day (“Grab Some Popcorn …”), I’d like to go behind the scenes and share some images and stories of my visit to Hallo Bay Bear Camp, where the new movie is being made. As I mentioned, I was photographing […]

Get the Popcorn Out … A Sneak Preview!
As you may know, I love to head north to Alaska. And my usual subject is the big, coastal brown bears of Hallo Bay. Late last summer, I was able to spend 6 days at the Hallo Bay camp, photographing the wonderful brown bears here. But what I hadn’t mentioned, was the fact that I […]

Stalling for Time: Shameless, Self-Promotion
Stalling for some time to get some of my recent Baja images edited and sized for blog posts, I’m going to share another recent project that I’ve been working on (both on the Baja trip and while in bed, after returning home). Towards the end of 2012, I was approached by Glacier National Park (Montana) […]
