Pack Creek, Part 3
We awoke on Day 3 of the workshop, still anchored in Pack Creek Bay. Scanning the shoreline, we were not only able to see a few brown bears working the shoreline, but there was an eerie look to the landscape … fog was slowly moving through the area: Then, we saw […]

LeConte Glacier, Part 1
Last night, I spoke with Dolphin Charters, the company that is running the Alaska Photo Workshop that I’ll be leading in a few weeks. One of the things they told me was that the ice at LeConte Glacier, one of our stops, is very good this year. That was good news … the last time […]

Anan Creek, Alaska
We’re still in the extreme heat wave here, with temperatures daily in the 100-105F range. Adding in the humidity factor, our comfort index has been registering between 103-115F … not too conducive for outdoor photography!

“Warp Speed, Mr. Sulu”
No, this is not a post about Star Trek, but does seemingly encompass a time warp! Images in this post are from a trip to the Chilkat River Valley, outside Haines, Alaska.
