Hey Folks, Apologies for missing a few posts here over the summer. It’s been a busy one, and I haven’t had much time keep up with the blog. So here’s a view from my summerhome. The Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1, camped on the Malaspina Glacier, looking through the door at Mt. St. Elias. From our […]
Hey Folks, Image of the month for 2012 is this photo of a breeding brown bear pair at Hallo Bay, katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska, on the coastal brown bear photo tour last week.

Hey Folks, Just returned from a brown bear photo tour over to Katmai National Park, where we photographed brown bears at Hallo Bay and Kukak Bay; we were super lucky to get some great light, great bears, and some really cool photo opportunities. This young bear was hanging around a pile of driftwood in Hallo […]
Hey Folks, Heading out in a day or 2 for a week of photography, so I thought I’d post this one of a porky little grizzly bear cub, fat and ready for hibernation. I’m a big fan of Lyle Lovett, and this photo seemed like the perfect match for such a great lyric. Have a […]

Hey Folks, It’s here already; March Madness has arrived. a week in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, a week in central and northern Alaska for the aurora borealis, a week back in Wrangell-St. Elias, and another week touring around skiing. Should be a big one. Much like Mt. Sanford here. They don’t come too much grander […]
Hey Folks, From my trip to Denali National Park and preserve over the New Year, here’s Mt. Margaret and Jenny Creek, near the Savage River. Not too many people get to see Denali like this, so it was a real treat to spend some time there. Wonderful trip. Here’s to a great year. Cheers Carl
Proposed Pebble Mine potentially affects all of us who visit the Alaska Peninsula and watch and photograph the coastal brown bears of Katmai National Park and Lake Clark and even Kodiak.
