River Reminiscing
Just over 5 years ago, I was blessed to go on a rafting trip with a good friend, Dan Buck. He’s an amazing photographer, so I was especially excited to kick it in the backcountry to see him in action.
As a photographer, I don’t think my to-do list is ever done, it percolates all the time (and sometimes boils over). In the past week or so I realized that I never created any artifacts to capture the experience except for some amazing prints that I have hanging in my house… But I always wanted to do more. Along with my love of capturing events, I enjoy helping myself and others to transport back to the experience of a day or time in life. So, to that end, I decided to put together a book of the trip.

I’m enthusiastic about animal portraits. Something in me is wildly fascinated with the sentient look in the eyes of a wild creature. This time, I was able to get some images of some wildlife in captivity.
Juneau to Haines to Skagway to Juneau or Bust
Heather and I went on a great mini-roadtrip this last weekend. It was three nights away from town and I thoroughly enjoyed the time away from phones and email and other distractions to be able to sit and chat and giggle with my wife. It was our two year anniversary on Monday, and it’s a good reminder that we’re in love, not just the business of living together. Anyhow, I took my camera along for the drive too, expecting the weather to cooperate a bit. Here are my top selections from the images I brought back…
