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..

Heading to the Midnight Sun
Today’s post features a couple of images I captured on my last trip to Alaska … aka, “The Land of the Midnight Sun”. This trip was a bit different than my earlier trips to Alaska … caught a ride on the M/V Columbia, one of the ferries of the Alaska State Ferry fleet. It was […]

Ahh, Memories!
Today’s post features a couple of (previously unpublished) images from Alaska’s Inside Passage, during one of my several Alaska photo trips on a 50-foot boat in the beautiful Inside Passage. Alaska is so very unique … so much, that you can never plan on what you will see! I take that back … you can […]

American Eagle Day
Today is American Eagle Day and I’m featuring some of my favorite Bald Eagle images I’ve captured over the years. Eagles are one of the top 5 subjects I like to photograph. As we celebrate today, please enjoy some bald eagles I’ve met along the journey: Just a very small collection of my Bald Eagle […]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
Brrrrrrrr!!! Another cold day in the Heartland! Got up this morning, with much hesitation, with the outside temperatures at -3F. That reminded me of one of my trips to Alaska’s “Valley of Eagles”, located outside Haines, Alaska. So I decided it was very appropriate to go back and post a few of my favorite images […]

Fun Friday: Out On a Limb
While editing some older, Alaska images, I ran across this one image that I don’t believe I ever posted. While photographing bald eagles in the Valley of Eagles (near Haines, Alaska), this adult eagle flew in and landed in a dead tree a short distance from me: In this image, he is conversing with another […]
Valley of the Eagles
Today’s post features another Alaska image, one captured along the Chilkat River Valley near Haines, Alaska. In this protected region, also known as “The Valley of the Eagles”, warm thermals keep the Chilkat River open well into November and a late salmon run attracts thousands of bald eagles along a 2.5 mile stretch. This image […]
A Strange Looking Eagle
I am currently charging up batteries, gathering photo equipment, and planning for capturing the annual Perseids meteors. Thus, I likely won’t have time to be on social media over the next few days, possibly up to a week. I am, however, going back through some of my older posts and preparing them for scheduled, automatic […]

Female Belted Kingfisher
Some images of a female Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle torquatus) that I captured from my kayak a few years ago. How do I know this is a female? The female has a reddish-brown belly band around her belly … the male does not: The low, in-the-water approach of a kayak can often get one very close […]

Fun Friday: The REAL Birder!
During our 2008 Orca photo trip, my great friend Tom, who is an avid birder and great nature photographer, sat on the Delphinus’ bowsprit, with his cute birding hat on, as if daring the dirty birdies to hit the target! I met Tom and his wife Lindsay on my first trip on Delphinus, back in […]

Fun Friday: BC Redneck
During my 2008 Orca Whale trip through the waters of British Columbia, this interesting sight motored by us: I’m guessing that this area is very much like the Inside Passage area of Alaska … very few roads, so in order to move a home, you must convert your home into a “trailer home”. :o) Photographic […]
